Is that an architect? Interior designer? Kitchen company? Builder? Again, how do I know that whichever one of those it is are not going to end up in the 90% camp?
All of those options will get you a kitchen. If you're not fussed about cutting edge design (it sounds like you're not - no offence) then the first two can probably be discounted. I would in your shoes go with a kitchen company, not one of the big ones, look for a local independent as they don't have a massive marketing budget so they live and die by their reputation. They will be able to do the design and will have a team of tradespeople that they work with and trust to do installation. Alternatively they will be able to supply you with the design and the kitchen for you to arrange your own installation.

I did this, was great, would recommend

I've got the kitchen to do at some point. Which I dread. I have asked people a few times here how to even start going about it, but it always boils down to "design the whole thing yourself, pick the stuff, find a good builder, micro manage what they're doing, and if it's shit you've only got yourself to blame."
I just want to point someone at the kitchen and ask them to tell me what it needs to make it a not shit kitchen. I have zero design creativity so would be easy to please in that regard. Then I want the same person to go away and arrange everything, just give me a ball park figure of what it will cost. Is that an architect? Interior designer? Kitchen company? Builder? Again, how do I know that whichever one of those it is are not going to end up in the 90% camp? I know there's a thread for this, but that's full of people who know what they're doing.
