The awe-inspiring surroundings of Buxton’s iconic Devonshire Dome proved a fitting setting for the 12th annual Northern Design awards.

Guests gathered at the iconic Devonshire Dome in Buxton to celebrate all that is great about design in the north of England at the 12th annual Northern Design awards. The evening recognised some of the region’s most innovative architects, designers and retailers - including Lancashire kitchen design company, Stuart Frazer.

Paul Rigby, designer at the business which has showrooms in Manchester, Preston and Ribble Valley, successfully scooped two awards for Kitchen of the Year and Room of the Year. Paul said: ‘I’m very happy to win these two awards, it’s a nice feeling. There were so many other companies with multiple designs in the nominations, so it was a bit of a surprise to win with just the one entry in both categories.’ Lancashire Life was among the sponsors of these prestigious awards.
