Creating The Wow Factor With The German Kitchen Place

By Sarah Ridgway

We interviewed James from The German Kitchen Place who is bringing “affordable luxury to Lancashire.”

WHAT IS THE USP OF BUYING A GERMAN KITCHEN?

German-made products have always had a reputation of incredible quality and precision and it is the same with our German Kitchens. They are manufactured using the latest machinery, therefore the parts from the worktops down to the hinges are of the highest standard and built to last.

HOW DURABLE ARE THE KITCHENS?

Our German kitchens not only look amazing, but the craftsmanship ensures they are also strong and sturdy. We offer quality and affordable kitchens, and we won’t ever compromise on quality. We also provide a Five-year warranty so if anything goes wrong, we are at the end of the phone to replace and repair free of charge. We differ from our competitors by offering a luxury kitchen that will stand the test of time in twenty years.

WHAT DOES THE GERMAN KITCHEN PLACE OFFER THEIR CLIENTS?

During the consultation at our showroom, we will discuss your ideas pinpointing exactly what you are looking to achieve for your dream kitchen. We tailor the design to the client’s priorities, whether a place to entertain, a work from home space or somewhere the children can do their homework from. The kitchen is the heart of the home and a luxury kitchen with the wow factor can be so much more than a place to cook and eat. Right from the initial idea, we use our expertise to guide you through the entire process that involves the client from start to completion. The German Kitchen Place utilises the latest innovations in design including clever storage options, integrated pop sockets for laptops and USBs to workstations coming off your island creating a space to work, cook and socialise. However, you want to personalise the kitchen we are here to help, from wine coolers, integrated dishwashers to quartz worktops just let us know. We also project manage the installation and can also work alongside your builders or contractors in case of delays on their side. Once we have designed and ordered your perfect kitchen delivery time runs at around 8 weeks.

WHAT MADE YOU CHOOSE TO HAVE YOUR SHOWROOM IN CLEVELEYS?

I live in Cleveleys so when I got the opportunity to bring 30 years of expertise and open a showroom here, I jumped at the chance. Its size and location are perfect as we have a constant stream of footfall and passing traffic. Word of mouth is also expanding, and we are getting jobs further afield including Blackpool and St Anne’s. The company has quickly grown, and I am now at the stage where I have two teams of fitters as we are getting enquiries left right and centre. We are also as active as we can be on social media, but local marketing is important for us as we are a local business. We are constantly engaging with the local community and are proud to have brought our amazing kitchens to Lancashire.

HOW ARE YOU ENGAGING WITH THE LOCAL COMMUNITY?

We make a conscious effort to support the local businesses whenever we can, for example, we work with a local company that specialises in exotic plants. Once we have completed a kitchen, we gift the client an exotic flower package because the personal touch is important to us. As we grow further, we want to continue making a positive impact locally by helping each other out. We are also building relationships with the best builders along the Fylde coast and throughout Lancashire and we are extremely interested to work with home extensions looking to accommodate a new kitchen. We want The German Kitchen place to be at the top of local builders preferred supplier lists.

Of course, there are other competitors in this sector, but we have pioneered a way to give the client what they want without a huge price tag. We are extremely competitive on price as we want to offer a designer luxury kitchen without the designer price. A German kitchen comes with that quality stamp of approval providing longevity with very few other comparisons on the market. What you get with us is a better-quality kitchen that will look fantastic and go the distance saving you money in the long term.
