Stephen Oliver is proud to be an approved Grillo TradePro partner. This collaboration provides us with additional resources, design tools and industry support that directly benefit our clients. In this post we explain what the TradePro program is, how it enhances our services and why our partnership matters when you choose us to build your outdoor kitchen.
About the Grillo TradePro Program
The TradePro program invites landscapers, garden designers, interior designers, architects and contractors to join a growing cohort of partners. Grillo highlights that over 100 TradePro partners already benefit from design guidance, resources and a smooth process when specifying outdoor kitchens . Whether you are designing a small terrace or a multi‑zone garden, the program provides support from the first concept to the final installation. Partners earn TradePro badges that qualify them for exclusive rewards and recognition based on the number of kitchens they complete each year . Interested professionals can sign up via Grillo’s website .
Benefits for Our Clients
Our membership in the TradePro program provides tangible advantages for homeowners:
- Enhanced design resources – TradePro partners receive access to a library of CAD layouts, design templates and technical guides. These resources accelerate the
design process and ensure that every kitchen is engineered correctly. - Dedicated support – Because TradePro partners work closely with Grillo’s technical team, we can quickly resolve technical questions and coordinate deliveries or
installations. This reduces lead times and ensures projects run smoothly from start to finish. - Rewards and recognition – As we complete more kitchens each year, our TradePro status grows. Higher badge levels translate into additional benefits that we can pass
on to clients, such as priority access to new products or promotional offers.
Our View on Grillo’s Craftsmanship
We chose to partner with Grillo because their craftsmanship aligns with our values of quality and longevity. Grillo manufactures its kitchens in England and adheres to a materials philosophy that each component must be tough, beautiful and low maintenance . Their cabinetry is constructed from heavy‑gauge aluminium with marine‑grade coatings, allowing it to withstand weather and even pressure washing . Work surfaces are made from Grillo Plateau™ sintered stone, which is stain‑proof, weather‑proof and scratch‑resistant . Iroko hardwood details add natural warmth and require no treatment . These materials mean we can build outdoor kitchens that remain elegant for years with minimal upkeep.
Design Collaboration: Bringing Your Vision to Life
Through our TradePro partnership, we have access to 50+ example layouts and downloadable CAD files . We use these resources as starting points, then customise them to match your space and lifestyle. The Grillo 3D configurator allows us to visualise your kitchen in photo‑realistic detail and even view it in augmented reality on your smartphone.
During a design consultation, we explore different modules, materials and finishes, then refine the layout until it feels perfect. Once your kitchen is designed, we manage the
installation, working with Grillo to coordinate delivery and assembly. Thanks to the freestanding design, installations are efficient and often avoid the need for heavy foundations .
