About Us

Our Story

Kevin Bunce and Chris Hunt started in the kitchen industry after leaving school, working for a company called Dream Home, designing, importing and installing kitchens.

In 1984 Dream Home moved to Cabinet Way, Chingford, where it established a small kitchen assembly facility, and in 1992, Kevin and Chris took the opportunity to purchase the company, keen to expand into manufacturing.

Despite starting from humble beginnings, with only a handful of key staff, the business successfully designed and manufactured its own quality kitchens and the company’s reputation grew. In 1999 Kevin and Chris decided to rebrand and introduce the name Urban Myth, as a reflection of the company’s innovation and modernity, to carry the company into the 21st Century.

The company's Chingford head office boasts a 4000sq ft showroom, featuring over 20 unique full-size displays, and its 30,000sq ft factory in Essex is equipped with state-of-the-art machinery, digitally integrated to its offices and cutting edge design and manufacturing systems, to create a fully streamlined business. Today, Urban Myth employs over 80 people and makes every effort to remain ahead of the curve in the design and manufacture of high-specification kitchens. Kevin and Chris continually invest in the very best talent and technology in order to maintain this position and provide an unrivalled customer experience.
