KBB distributor PJH has announced £1million sales from the first 12 months of its agreement with German high-end appliance manufacturer Miele.

The distributor offers 200 SKUs from Miele spanning cooking, dishwashers, refrigeration and laundry models.

According to PJH, the sales can be attributed to its ‘First Choice’ Customer Service commitment, under-pinned by stock holding and free, next-day national delivery, with ‘to shop’ or ‘to home’ delivery options.

Speaking about the success of the partnership, head of sales at Miele Neil Pooley said: “Achieving seven-figure sales of our prestigious Miele brand in our first year of trading with PJH, exceeds all expectations as well as endorses the decision to partner with PJH.

“In addition, PJH’s corporate ethos to be always the customers’ ‘First Choice’ has been a true differentiator and coupled with the capabilities of its first-class national distribution network, means we have been able to bring our products to customers, next day nationally too.”

Tanna Molyneux, PJH’s product manager for brand appliances, sinks & taps said: “We have worked hard to develop our partnership with Miele, offering the full Miele range of over 250 product SKUs from stock through the PJH Partners Portal and with a Free Next-Day Delivery option too.

“As a premium brand, Miele widens the range of price points in our appliance portfolio and brings even more choice to our customers.”

Molyneux added: “As one of the UK’s largest KBB distributors, with class-leading customer service to the independent retailer network, the potential of the Miele brand can be maximised, with continued growth expected and we are delighted to support this prestigious brand.”

Kitchen retailers wishing to purchase Miele products are required to sign an agreement, which outlines how products are to be displayed, branding requirements and service offered, by the retailer and agree to a display.

PJH offers a variety of appliance brands including Elica, Neff, Bosch, Whirlpool, Hotpoint, Indesit, AEG, Electrolux, Zanussi, Abode and InSinkErator.
