A newly-opened Kutchenhaus retailer in Newark has experienced early triumphs, with strong sales and a pipeline of enquiries in its first months of business. Now, the team of two share the reasons they feel their business has been an early hit.
Co-owned by Siobhann Lucy and Jodie Mills, Kutchenhaus Newark opened its doors in July 2022 and has been busy since its launch, welcoming customers from local areas to learn about its German kitchens.
With 15 years’ combined experience in the industry, first as designers before moving to senior positions, the pair put the early success down to their working relationship, an enthusiasm for the new venture and a quality product.
Siobhann said: “Jodie and I met seven years ago and really haven’t looked back. We both wanted a change from our previous roles and it was July 2021 when one evening we met up over a gin and tonic – we planned the dream and now we’re making it happen!”
She continued: “We couldn’t be more different people and that contrast really works for us in business. Once we’d decided to go ahead, we quickly found a unit last December which was perfect for what we wanted to do.”
Located at Robin Hood Walk, near the A1, the Newark showroom is a brand-new space. It features 2,000 square feet of retail space, five full kitchen displays including the popular ‘Easytouch’ and ‘StoneArt’, as well as a bathroom display, living room, workstation, and bar area. There are also appliances from brands such as AEG, Bosch and Siemens.
Jodie added: “Doing something new that we love has given us a new drive in our careers. We’re both passionate about kitchens, obsessed even, and we’re determined to deliver a quality service to our customers.
“Our first few months have been exciting and has highlighted to me how great it is to work with a friend who shares your vision. I think the fact that our customers get to know us and that we’re available to support them however much or little they need is a real difference maker.
“We can offer our enthusiasm and knowledge, coupled with a personalised service to take them on the journey to transforming their kitchen.”
Kutchenhaus is a franchise business with over 50 showrooms in the UK and is rated ‘Excellent’ on Trustpilot after reaching its 1,000th review recently. It is owned by nobilia, Europe’s largest kitchen manufacturer, and provides stylish, German designed ranges which are built to deliver following 70 years of technology and product development.
