Further to its direct-to-consumer retail in the UK market, Nolte Kitchens UK is targeting expansion through the launch of its new franchise model.

Building on its network of 15 owned showrooms in the UK, Nolte has stated its ambition is to be “the UK’s biggest and most respected name in the premium kitchen market”.

Named Germany’s favourite kitchen brand for five years’ running, Nolte Kitchens believes its franchise proposition is set to “significantly” accelerate the brand’s growth and geographical reach.

The firm will be focusing particularly on finding partners in Leicester, Newcastle and the North East, Leicestershire, Berkshire, Oxfordshire, London and South Wales.

According to the company, Nolte Kitchens franchisees will be able to benefit from a business model that “generates cash flow quickly”, offers a “high gross” margin on products and a central marketing function, with a “high level “of ongoing support from the Nolte team.

Head of Sales at Nolte Kitchens UK Liz Hall comments: “We have ambitious growth plans in place that will see us expand from the current 15 showrooms we own and operate in the UK – without compromising our dedication to kitchens that work, look and feel incredible.

“We anticipate attracting existing single or multi-unit franchise owners or entrepreneurs who will be able to build an organisation and commit to our showroom development plan, with growth mindsets to match our own.”

Nolte has recently acquired contracts installation company BKNC to support its direct-to-trade division and enhance its offering to the construction and housebuilder sector.
