Better doesn’t happen by chance. It happens by design. Because every aspect of our business is properly considered and done with purpose and care. And that’s down to our people.
With more than 100 years’ experience behind us, Magnet is one of the UK’s biggest and best known kitchen brands. Because we know that together, we can deliver more. Whether we’re designing a new kitchen, or designing a bespoke service for our customers, we always aim for better. It’s just what we do.
Our journey began in 1918 when Tom Duxbury started a joinery business in Bingley with one single ambition. To offer better products and services to his customers. We’ve come a long way since then, and we’ll never forget our Yorkshire roots. But we’re still living up to that ambition, and as a team we’ll always strive to create, innovate and inspire better living through purposeful design. Better for you, better for our planet, by design.
We want to be better when it comes to sustainability. We believe we only have one chance to get this right, so we’ve pledged to reduce our CO2 emissions from manufacturing and transport by 72% by 2026. And we’re also collaborating with our suppliers to help them reduce their carbon footprints. This is something we all expect from brands today. But we think it’s something we should also expect from our workplace. Expecting better from us all, for us all.
It’s all part of what makes Magnet and the careers we offer Better. By design.
