When the chips are down, you have to step forward, speak up, and take action - or sink. Matthew Ingle, born and bred in Yorkshire, left school in 1971 with four O levels. He worked at a timber yard in Huddersfield before joining Magnet's management training program. When he was made redundant in 1994, he had an idea for a business, jotted down on a single sheet of paper, but no name, no products, no buildings, and no backers. Howdens was founded in 1995 and is now a FTSE 100 company with 10,000 staff, sales of over £2 billion, and a royal warrant. This is the story of how he got there: the highs and lows, the disasters turned to triumphs, the unsung heroes, and the grafters - and the no-nonsense business principles that guided him along the way. Kitchens, or Sink weaves memoir with business insight, telling us a great deal about the state of manufacturing in the UK, how Matthew learned to turn setbacks into opportunities, and established the standards he set for himself and his workforce. This is an honest and uplifting story that also offers sound and pragmatic advice to anyone starting their own business.
