“We are proud to champion the words ‘used’ and ‘second-hand’, concepts that have evolved hugely over the years.

“There’s still some way to go but we’ve already made some serious inroads. Consumers now recognise the immense benefits of buying second-hand and ex-display kitchens which are often up to 70% off their rrp.

“It also provides retailers with a sustainable avenue to relocate their displays and enhance their eco credentials.
