About Us

Hi there - we’re Garry Jeans Kitchens (GJK) - and we’re a local, family owned, and operated small business. We’ve been operating in the Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, and Maitland areas for over 40 years - but wait a minute, those two don’t look that old!

That’s because we’re second-generation GJK! I’m Garry’s son, Brenden, and this is my lovely wife, Claire. My Dad taught me everything I know about building kitchens, and then I taught myself a whole lot too (including how to email quotes instead of faxing them). So, whilst our business may appear old and somewhat uncool, we’re actually young, dynamic, and innovative (beyond fax and email), and we’re dedicated to making beautiful kitchens and cabinetry that last - just like my Dad.

If you’d like to know more about GJK, then keep reading! Otherwise, we’ll let you crack on with your day.

  • How GJK started:

    Garry and Kerrie Jeans established GJK in 1979. They set up shop in their double-garage and worked hard. Before long, their best form of advertising became word-of mouth - owing to their friendly service and top-notch workmanship.

  • How GJK Grew:

    The years progressed and GJK went from strength to strength. Then in 2007, Garry and Kerrie’s son - Brenden - joined the family business. Brenden worked hard to learn the trade, complete his apprenticeship, and contribute to the family business.

  • How GJK Changed:

    In 2014, Garry and Kerrie invited Brenden into the family-partnership and his responsibilities steadily increased. Then, in 2022, Brenden took over the family business – when after 43 years, Garry and Kerrie retired and passed him the reins

  • How GJK Is Today:

    Today, GJK is led by Brenden and Claire. They have a small, dedicated team including: Connor, Micaiah, Ben, Hannah and Kyle - and Garry when we need him too. Together, they design, manufacture, and install every job from start to finish.
