Meet Bethany Kendrick
29 Jul 2024
Meet Bethany Kendrick, Havwoods’ Product Category Manager for the wood surface products beyond flooring.
Tell us about yourself?
My name is Beth and I live in Manchester. I’ve worked in the wood surface industry for the past six years, predominantly within the wall panelling sector supplying products for a vast variety of customers. I joined Havwoods in April this year and am loving my time here so far. It has been great getting to know the team, learning about the amazing products that Havwoods offers and meeting our clients along the way. I am excited for what’s to come and cannot wait to drive the category forward!
Tell us about the products you work with?
I work with all of the Havwoods’ wooden surface products for walls, ceilings and cabinetry. Some of the products are new additions to the company’s portfolio. These include the amazing range of Elegante veneers, Simplista, PurePanel, PurePanel 3D, Hushwood and Vertical. What’s special about these products is that there is a product for every taste, every client and every space. The Panel market is growing fast as more designers and end-users are incorporating different surface products into their specifications. The market is becoming a little bit more daring, be it adding a pop of colour to a room, a whacky wallpaper or in our case, timber surfaces for depth, texture and warmth.
What would you say to a customer who is considering using wood surface products in their projects?
The surface products are hugely versatile and there is a product suitable for every scheme and specification. We have so many on trend products to choose from, all of which can be used in different spaces such as our PurePanel for building kitchens, cabinetry and furniture, and Elegante veneers for feature walls or a reception desk. What I would say is don’t be afraid to explore something new and get in touch with us to find out more. The possibilities are endless with our surface products!
