Contracts
Based in Stirling, Ashley Ann Contracts has become a well established business in the sector, successfully grown over the last 10 years.
The demand for not only high quality products, but a product that looks great for years to come has increased over the years as house builders look for an excellence which matches their own values.
We have worked on many developments from small independent projects up to large scale national house builders, across Scotland and the North of England.
We pride ourselves in the product and service we offer as we feel this is an offering unlike any other business within the industry.
Our Story
Founded in 1986, Ashley Ann is now in its 34th year of trading and is a family-owned- and-run company started by Stephen and Ellen Bremner, and named after their daughter, Ashley. Stephen and Ellen’s sons, Gavin and Scott, are now in the senior management team, ensuring that Ashley Ann will continue to be run in the same caring way it always has been.
From our humble beginnings in a small unit in Thurso over thirty years ago, we now manufacture around 80 kitchens, bedrooms and bathrooms per week, with these being supplied through eight of our own showrooms in Scotland, and many independent retailers spread right across the UK.
The scale of growth and advances in manufacturing technology have resulted in many changes to our company over the 30 years, but the family-led values which were at our heart from the earliest days still hold true today based from our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Wick, Caithness, in the far north of Scotland.
Our Process
Your kitchen furniture will be made individually for you, and will not be the end result of a production line. Instead, it will be individually machined, sprayed and then hand-assembled to ensure the outstanding quality Ashley Ann has become renowned for.
The second stage of creation is of course what happens during fitting, and here the same level of care and attention to detail applies as it does in design and manufacture. We only use tradesmen that share our values, and their objective will be to carry out a first class job and as quickly and efficiently as possible to minimise disruption.

About me My kitchen journey started back in 2006, over this time I have built up a very extensive range of knowledge that has helped me achieve where I am today. I joined Ashley Ann in May 2017 doing contracts design and sales where I dealt with all tender designs and pricing. In September 2019 I was promoted to Operations Manager overseeing all aspects of the day to day running of the team whilst continuing to tender and negotiate new developments.

Steven
About me Originally from a manufacturing background in engineering. I progressed into a sales managers role working in both the retail and contract sectors for brand names such as LG Electronics, Whirlpool, Smeg and Franke. I owned my own business for three years designing and supplying kitchens to a few key clients which then led me to the position of Contract Sales Manager with Ashley Ann. The knowledge I have gained over the last 15 years has given me a far better understanding of all aspects of design, supply and installation of kitchen products to the ever changing contracts market.

Marshall Client Design Consultant
I focus on liaising between the site sales office and their clients to help guide them towards their dream kitchen within their new home. The Kitchen is the hub of the house, therefore, I understand how very important it is to get these colours and finishes just right. There is nothing better than seeing clients excited when they start to see their visions come to life. -
