“We’re always looking for dedicated, driven individuals to become Kutchenhaus franchise partners and this, in turn, fosters the best environment for success.

“We provide support, as well as training and development opportunities, which enables our showrooms to thrive.

“More and more franchise partners are opening their second and third showrooms; one team has even opened its fourth — this is hugely encouraging for us.

“Reaching 75 showrooms is certainly an achievement and we’re proud to be in this position, with our sights set firmly on the next milestone.”

Kutchenhaus wants to attract kitchen designers who have a proven track record in the industry “often those who are considered to be within the top 10% by their peer group”, investors and independent retailers to become its next franchise partners.

Paul Lee continues: “In line with the growth of our franchise network, we’ve also placed emphasis on internal recruitment in 2024, hiring a number of professionals who will help us achieve our goals and provide further support to individuals in showrooms.

“With a team of specialists both in the franchise network and indeed our offices, we feel well positioned for the future.”
