David Morris, Sales Director for MHK UK commented on the partnership: “We are delighted to welcome JJO to the MHK Group.

“Their kitchen, bedroom and bathroom furniture is of an outstanding quality and showcases British-made design.

“This is a major milestone for our retail members who will now have access to an even broader range of products and outstanding payment terms from more of our most trusted and prestigious kitchen furniture brands.”

He continued: “Asides from manufacturing outstanding quality furniture, JJO is also a business that truly aligns with the MHK ethos of giving power to its people and members.

“Over two thirds of the shares of the business are within an employment ownership trust, meaning that staff own the majority of the business.

“Sharing equity is at the heart of MHK – allowing independent kbb businesses to thrive thanks to the competitive payment terms offered by our suppliers.

“JJO is an excellent new partner for both MHK and our members.”

Sales & marketing director of JJO Jon Thelwell said: “We have a highly respected and solid business in the UK that has been built over more than a century.

“Thanks to owning and fully managing our production facility we are able to offer scale, short lead times and excellent customer services to kbb showrooms and installers.

“We look forward to growing our business with MHK’s members.”

JJO joins a roster of 75 brands, which includes  Schüller, Bauformat, 1810 Company and Schock as of 2025.
