From Greatest Showman to Greatest Showrooms! Watch our showstopping musical inspired advert produced by The Greatest Showman director! Our all-singing, all-dancing Hollywood style TV advert, directed by Golden Globe and Academy Award nominated filmmaker Michael Gracey, uses the inspiration of musicals to capture the thrill and excitement of the Wren Kitchens customer experience. Each kitchen display is transformed into one continuous magical sequence with the action playing out to the soundtrack of Sammy Davis Jr’s ‘If They Could See Me Now’, from the 1966 Broadway musical Sweet Charity. The advert is built on the premise of imagination, and the exciting journey that customers go on when visiting the greatest showrooms on earth.
Wren Kitchens Driver of the Year 2021 Revealed! Our Driver of the Year competition celebrates those who have gone the extra mile and excelled in delivering kitchens.

They were judged by a team of experts from Mercedes Benz, the Wren training team and two qualified driving examiners from DST. There could only be one winner… A huge congratulations to Dave Lumb, from our Barton-upon-Humber depot, who was crowned Driver of the Year 2021! He excelled in all areas and is a real asset to the team. Well done to all contestants that showcased their skills, and of course, a huge thank you to DST Leconfield, Rygor Trucks, Mercedes Benz Trucks, Brigade Camera systems and Abel Bodies for making this event possible. What a fantastic day!
We were thrilled to be the first company in the UK to trial bp and Mercedes-Benz new In-Truck Pay app. The ground-breaking app makes fuel purchasing and management faster, more efficient, and more secure for truck drivers and fleet managers. In-Truck Pay eliminates errors, provides accurate information to managers, and removes the need for drivers to enter mileage themselves. It requires just three simple steps – drivers confirm the site, unlock the pump and refuel. Our National Fleet Manager, Lee Thompson-Halls, commented: “Going card-less has saved us so much time and trouble, not only at the fuel station but also on the admin side. It has ensured that we’re working with clear, accurate data, and is also where we need to be from a security perspective. “Our drivers have found the app very straightforward and easy to use, and they like the idea of being at the forefront of new technology. A lot of them are looking at the bigger picture and see this as a development that will help drivers of the future, as well as themselves.”
