I did - several! The UK 'arm' of Heathkit was Daystrom Ltd, in
Gloucester (a lovely place to visit BTW). Most of what they sold was
UK sourced for the UK market although you could get some of the US
Heathkit stuff. I built an AM/FM tuner, AF and RF oscillators (still
have these) and a valve voltmeter (VTVM to our friends over there :-),
as well as a pair of speakers.
The kits and instructions were extremely thorough and have never been
surpassed IMO.
