About Us
A long-established family business, Carlielle Kitchens has been helping New Zealanders turn their kitchen dreams into reality for over 25 years.
A family business
Carlielle Kitchens is a family owned company with a proud history of designing and manufacturing the highest quality kitchens in Pukekohe and the wider Auckland area for the past two decades.
After taking over an established kitchen design company from Mike Carlielle in 1996, Sue and Barry McMiken grew their new business into what is now a close-knit team of 20 staff, each member handpicked for his or her own area of expertise. A former builder, himself, Barry feels privileged to have been able to offer young people in the area the same quality, old-fashioned apprenticeship training that he received.
Three of their children – Doug, Greg and Tasha – have now to come to the fore to continue Carlielle Kitchens’ vision and passion into the future. Read more about the next generation of McMikens below.
Doug McMiken
General Manager
Doug McMiken joined the company in 2012 after completing a business degree at Massey University and working as a commercial manager for insurer FMG.
Doug has taken on the role of general manager, making sure that all parts of the business are working at their best together. He is passionate about the industry and is currently Vice President of the Auckland Master Joiners.
Greg McMiken
Install Manager
Greg McMiken started out running the company's unique Acrocore door processing operation, and later the management of the whole workshop. Greg is now responsible for overseeing all site work along with measuring and final quality checking.
Greg has inherited Barry’s expert problem solving ability as well as his high standards for workmanship.
Tasha McMiken
Scheduling & Finance
Tasha McMiken is the company’s technical and pricing expert, translating concept drawings into final working plans for the factory, managing scheduling and install teams.
Tasha’s role is challenging as every project we do is different to the next. Her extensive experience allows her to decipher even the most complex job.

They take pride in manufacturing and assembling our kitchens with the highest standards of craftsmanship.
