HARTS of STUR 11 gift guide 2019 HARTS issue 11 all.new | Page 2

W elcome to the 11th edition of Kitchen Magazine. Firstly, it’s hello and welcome from me. I’m thrilled to be penning my first introduction to our magazine, having taken over custodianship of the company in May. My father Philip recently retired after 41 years as MD of our family business and is now getting his hands dirty with all the jobs at home that he has spent years ignoring. There is no seismic change however, just a seamless transition to the new management team, all long-standing Harts employees including my brother Johnathan. We will continue to provide award-winning customer service alongside an ever growing range of kitchen cookware and electricals. I’m also excited to announce that plans are well underway for the re-development of our store which starts in earnest next month. (See page 12). Our centenary year has triumphantly progressed towards the peak phase of our celebrations, and what better way to top the year off than with a homage to the Sunday roast. Quite aside from the fantastic flavours and mouth watering options, it is often the one meal of the week to bring all the family together, so important in our modern, fast paced lives. It is a meal that, in its essence is about family, and so making roast dinners the highlight of our Centenary year, where we are honouring the past, present and future of our family company, just seems right. From one of the biggest and most desirable of brands, KitchenAid, comes a stunning new colour, Velvet Blue. Exclusive to Harts of Stur, this sweet and airy collection is perfect for updating your kitchen with a splash of blue, which is bang on trend. This seasonal edition also includes a bonus festive gift guide, full of inspirational ideas for family and friends (or even treating yourself) this Christmas. We hope you enjoy this packed issue and take this opportunity to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a fabulous New Year. Graham Hart Managing Director 2 www.hartsofstur.com
