Managing director of Carron Bathrooms James McMorrine commented: “Carron Bathrooms and Eastbrook Company can confirm that following over twenty years of trading together, we have decided to terminate our partnership upon the expiry of Eastbrook’s current catalogue on 28th February 2022.

“To be clear, this decision comes as the result of a shared strategic review into our partnership, and we part company on good terms.

“The priority of both companies in the disengagement process is to ensure that our loyal customers have continuity of supply throughout the remainder of 2021.

“Carron will ensure that Eastbrook continue to access the products required to fulfil demand.”

He continued: “Our long-term partners, Q4 Bathrooms, have been working closely with us over the last few weeks to increase their inventory and distribution capacity and we will announce an exciting new route to market on 1st December so that our customers can enjoy an enhanced service offering.
