Darren Morgan from Northern Ireland-based Glenvale Kitchens has received national recognition from the bathroom and kitchen industry, after picking up and award at the prestigious kbbreview Industry Awards.

Mr Morgan won the coveted Designer Award for Kitchens for projects that cost up to £25k, sponsored by Hotpoint, at a glittering awards ceremony in London earlier this month.

"I may have created the initial concept and design but it was the entire team that made the design a reality for the client."

The prestigious kbbreview Industry Awards event, now in its 15th year, is organised by leading industry magazine kbbreview to recognise individual achievements from across the UK's kitchen and bathroom industry.

An esteemed panel of judges shortlisted finalists before inviting them to RIBA's London headquarters to give face to face presentations on their designs before making their decisions.

Mark Pearson, event manager, was delighted with the extraordinary level of competition this year and the overall quality delivered by the industry.

He said: "This event consistently helps to demonstrate the exceptional quality that exists within our industry which in turn helps boost business as a whole."
