Clapham November 2025 Meeting 

Why Kitchens Matter: Making your projects more speedy & profitable - Rupen Patel

From bricks to splashbacks, Rupen & Tracey began their journey in property as a hands-on investor and developer, building a portfolio of HMOs, family homes, and residential conversions. With a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of what makes a home both functional and desirable, they soon recognised the kitchen as the heart of every property—and a frequent headache for many developers.

That insight led to the launch of KWT Kitchens: a trade-focused kitchen company built to support property professionals, landlords, and builders with stylish, durable, and intelligently designed kitchens. Today, Rupen brings practical property experience, industry insight, and a genuine passion for design together to help others create spaces that truly impress, last & improve their profits on their developments, whether renting or selling.

On the evening you will learn: 

• Why your kitchen matters
• How to make your projects speedier and profitable
• Top Tips to Assist your design process
