Kitchen retail franchise Kutchenhaus is celebrating its 20th anniversary of trading in 2024.
Founded in 2004, the brand was born out of a collaboration between UK kitchen professionals and parent company nobilia and saw the opening of its first showroom in Urmston, Manchester.
Kutchenhaus moved to a franchise model and now has a network of over 75 showrooms across the UK, showrooms in Australia, American and Portugal.

The company recently held a conference for its retail franchise partners in the Algarve, Portugal, and it is set to hold a mindfulness and wellbeing initiative, in August, for Support Centre staff who have all contributed to growth.
In addition, Kutchenhaus has just moved into new offices in Rochdale, Greater Manchester.
Customer service and logistics manager James Harley and IT Manager Barry Reed have both been with the business since its first years of operation.
On 20 years of Kutchenhaus, Barry Reed commented: “The change has been incredible, and it’s great to see how we’ve grown massively since our beginning.
“It’s a completely different proposition now, and this is for the better, as the trajectory is upward.
“To make this happen, everyone is willing to help each other out, and that’s why people love working here.”
James Harley added: “The company still retains its family feel — we’ve grown and not lost our brand identity, and this is important.
“The spark we had when we first started with minimal people is absolutely still seen today.
“We have a vision and we’re going to deliver on our growth ambitions — this is thanks to a dedicated team and a fantastic franchise partner network.”
