Kutchenhaus Whiteley employs five team members, which includes existing Romsey showroom manager Simon Passaway, designer Iain Wraxall, and admin/lead taker Susan Dalgarno. 

Co-owner Paul Turner commented: “The potential is massive and it’s an exciting time for us to be opening this space.

“This showroom has a premium feel, with displays showcasing the very latest in kitchen technology, and some niche products which are difficult to find elsewhere.  

“In terms of location, we’re situated close to places like Wagamama, M&S Food and Cineworld, so we can welcome passers-by, as well as those who are already on their journey to finding a new kitchen.” 

Andy Barwell added: “Thanks to our collective knowledge and experience, we’re able to offer a first-class service from start to finish, and we’ve assembled a fantastic team of professionals who treat it like it’s their own business and will work across our four locations.

“We’re enjoying having initial conversations with customers.”
