John Davies is Head of Marketing at Smeg UK, a role he has held following 15 years with the brand.

During his time at Smeg, John has overseen the marketing of a diverse appliance portfolio, from premium built‑in ovens and hobs to iconic refrigeration, range cookers and small domestic appliances. Passionate about the relationship between appliances, architecture and interior design, John brings a practical yet design‑led perspective to kitchen renovation.

At Grand Designs Live, he will share insights into Smeg’s brand story, introduce new products launching at the exhibition, and explore how well thought through appliance choices can maximise space, elevate design and create kitchens that are truly lived in and loved.
