Most importantly, each and every customer is supported by ONE personal team - dedicated to providing expert advice, and assisting a professional, streamlined journey from start to finish.

**Function/Department description**

In 2008 with an increasing number of customers seeking their whole kitchen solution from one trusted source, PWS soon expanded into the fabrication of high quality, bespoke worksurfaces, with the launch of our award-winning worksurfaces manufacturing facility at our HQ site. Combining state-of-the-art technology and expert craftsmanship, PWS Worksurfaces provides the most comprehensive and sophisticated collection of worksurface products, with a commitment to worldwide sourcing of the very best materials.
