Kitchen installer recommendations needed

Hello
I live in a rural Cumbria and it's a nightmare finding anyone with a trade who isn't booked up months in advance. Plus if you have a job needing different trades - all synchronised - it's practically impossible. This old cottage kitchen needs replacing. I thought I had cracked it when I found a duo who have most of the skills between them but they have backtracked due to ill health. Can anyone recommend a reliable company which will organise all the work - supply, fitting, plumbing, electrics etc. I already have plans drawn up.
I know it's not the cheapest way of doing things but it's probably the best option.

Bear in mind this is peak time for kitchen fitting - folks want their new kitchens for Christmas. This in turn causes a backlog in customers. You are unlikely to get anyone decent to work on yours until some time in the new year.0

Try posting your job in https://www.mybuilder.com and if you are lucky you can find a fitter despite the peak time.
Make sure the tradesman has good feedback relevant to your job. You can also try https://www.gumtree.com for kitchen fitters but knowing the tradesman's past work is difficult. In which case ask about his past work and references if necessary.
All the best.0 -
Thanks. I need a joiner/fitter, electrician, plumber, plasterer and possibly someone who can tile. Owing to the difficulty of getting individual trades in this area I need either a firm which has all the skills in house or which will take responsibility for contracting and co-ordinating the work. Maybe someone who will supply AND fit.0
