Tim Middleton
Director / Owner
With more than two decades of plant management experience as a chemical engineer, Tim Middleton brings a unique blend of technical expertise and fresh perspective to the kitchen and bath design industry as the Owner and Director of Spectrum Kitchen & Bath Design.
With a Bachelor of Engineering from McGill University, Tim spent the majority of his career managing large-scale industrial operations, in an array of different manufacturing environments, including in the pulp and paper, petrochemicals, nuclear, glass and biochemical fields. While he doesn’t come from a kitchen and bath background, his experience in problem-solving, leadership, and process optimization has made him a strong fit for managing and growing a design-forward business like Spectrum.
Tim has always had a passion for home renovation and hands-on projects, which makes this new chapter especially fulfilling. At Spectrum, he focuses on creating an environment where both the team and clients feel supported, empowered, and confident in the work being delivered.

Peter Summers
Installation Manager
Peter Summers
Installation Manager
For Peter Summers, the best part of his job is when he can look at a freshly installed kitchen that is matched to the customer’s or builder’s specifications and know that it will be a cherished part of the home it resides in.
Peter is Co-Owner and Installation Manager at Spectrum, running the business with partners Lori Di Saverio and Sandra McLaurin. With 100-percent of his industry knowledge coming from hands-on experience, Peter knows how important it is to make sure every job is done properly, on time, and on budget.
The Ottawa native began his career at Specialty Kitchens, working on cabinet manufacturing for about six years after high school. From there, he joined Canac Kitchens, and spent the next 20 years doing kitchen installations, followed by about five years in service, and ultimately, management.
He now puts all those skills to good use at Spectrum, working with homeowners and builders to see kitchens and bathrooms of all kinds take shape. In his almost 40 years in the industry, design has changed a lot, but his passion for getting the job done right hasn’t.

Design Consultant and Sales Representative
Peter Hadchity
Design Consultant and Sales Representative
Peter Hadchity is proof that good management results in dedicated employees. For him, feeling a strong sense of belonging to the Spectrum team has made him even more devoted to his role as a Design Consultant and Sales Representative, and in turn, he purposely goes out of his way to ensure each customer is happy with their project.
His nearly 40 years in the field has given him a wealth of knowledge and experience in the industry. It all started when he took over his father’s kitchen cabinet company in Barbados, where he grew up. Peter ran the company for seven years before closing it in 1985 to move to Canada.
Peter worked in kitchen production and later in sales for Morewood Industries in Ottawa until it closed. He then immediately landed a job at Canac Kitchens in 1989, where he spent 21 years in sales. Working with small and medium-sized builders, as well as retailers, Peter created many beautiful kitchens for his clients.
When Canac Kitchens closed its doors in 2008, he took a year’s sabbatical before joining the Spectrum team in 2009. Peter treats Spectrum as though it’s his because, for him, the team and their customers are like family.

Design Consultant and Sales Representative
For Kim Ozen, liking your kitchen or bathroom isn’t enough. She wants you to be thrilled with it. And she’s confident she can help make that happen.
As a Design Consultant at Spectrum, Kim believes that you can have a space that is functional, efficient, and beautiful, all without having to settle. She specializes in retail, renovation, and custom homes, and is there every step of the way with her clients, from inception to conception.
She graduated from the Business program at Algonquin College in 1986 but took the following three years to travel before starting a home-based staging and decorating business in 1990. In 1996, her job description changed to full-time mother.
In 2011, she returned to Algonquin College to upgrade her skills. She then earned her diploma in Interior Decorating, which she needed in order to obtain acceptance into the graduate program for Kitchen and Bath Design, which is an approved accredited National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA) program. She graduated with Honours in 2013.
Her internship at Spectrum turned into a full-time job.
Kim loves the fast pace and creativity the job offers and the chance to meet new people and work with them toward creating the kitchen or bathroom of their dreams.
