In 1983, Keller opened its UK headquarters in Timperley near Altrincham, Cheshire, which included offices on the first floor and a flagship showroom on the ground floor.

Three years’ later, Geoff Sharpe acquired the showroom from Keller and began to build his retail business with the Dutch kitchen manufacturer.

To this day Keller kitchens are sold from the same showroom.

Geoff Sharpe was a well-known member of the KBB industry and continued to work with the Keller brand for 37 years with a dedicated team and business partner, Danil Sugakov.
