Hide AdThe company was incorporated in June 2018, shortly after the birth of the owners Dean and Aimee Sanderson’s son Charlie, after whom the business was named.
Director, Dean Sanderson explained: “Our business is booming at the moment and I can only put it down to the fact that people have been in their homes a lot more in the last six to eight months – perhaps looking at their kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms and deciding that they want something new or updated.
“In the space of a few months we’ve gone from worrying if our business will survive to being the busiest we’ve ever been.”
The company is an office based kitchen, bathroom and bedroom design specialist and has found that its original approach to working with clients has been beneficial in the face of a global pandemic.

“We work from a home office and conduct our meetings with clients in their own home of via video call.
“Our digital 3D designs are easy to showcase online and the fact that we can take or send samples of each element of a client’s design to them personally means that those who want to stay in the safety of their own home can still have a bespoke room design service.
“Obviously we have to work on site to install the room but with a very small and closely managed team it makes the process very easy in terms of social distancing.”
