About Us

Meet the team

Linda Joseph is a family business at its heart and one of Cumbria's longest-serving interior design companies. Founders Joseph and Linda Benson, husband and wife, are moving into retirement (slowly!) but still retain an active interest in the business, overseeing projects and offering their wealth of expertise and experience to their son and leading partner, Scott, and interior designer Rebecca.

Linda Benson - Linda Joseph Kitchens and Interiors

Linda

Linda’s love of interiors was ignited by a design course she took back in the 1980s. It made such an impression that she still has the portfolios she created! She supports Rebecca in our interior design showroom liaising with our chosen stockists, and ensures we have the latest trends available for our clients. 

Joseph Benson - Linda Joseph Kitchens and Interiors

Joseph

Joseph started as a self-employed specialist kitchen installer in 1981 until they founded Linda Joseph Interiors a decade later. It’s hard to find anyone with more ‘hands on’ experience in the industry having completed over 500 projects in his time. He now oversees our kitchen & interior installations with a keen eye for detail and a commitment to quality workmanship.

Scott Benson - Linda Joseph Kitchens and Interiors

Scott

Scott officially joined in 2004, though he’s been helping his Dad, Joseph since the age of 6! Scott studied Urban Studies and Planning at the University of Sheffield and has switched his urban design to kitchens and living spaces. With over 20 years in the family business, he has a wealth of expertise in the fitted furniture industry.

Rebecca - Linda Joseph Kitchens and Interiors

Rebecca

Rebecca joined us in 2017 having studied Interior Design at the University of Central Lancashire. Rebecca is an expert at crafting mood boards and designs that perfectly suit the tastes of our clients. Her incredible product knowledge and ability to create both contemporary and traditional schemes means she can turn your ideas into reality.

Marie

Marie joined the company in 2023 and works primarily alongside Scott in kitchen design and sales. Her previous experience working for an estate agency includes photographing over 2000 local properties. She therefore brings a wealth of experience from the housing market into the business with great attention to detail and a passion for home interiors.
