Distribution in today's kitchen industry
Comment by ALAN SHELDON, Managing Director, DK Distribution

The modern distributor for the kitchen industry needs to cover all bases and tick all boxes says Alan Sheldon, MD of DK Distribution.

Retailers and small manufacturers are under increasing pressure to offer ever greater variety, choice and quality. Kitchen designs and styles change daily and the products are ever more sophisticated. This is also true of all the associated products and accessories. Today's retailer does not have the time to outsource products from individual suppliers and relies more and more on distributors that can offer a ‘one-stop-shop' with wide range of choice, the guarantee of excellent quality and a delivery that is fast, regular and controlled so that orders arrive complete and in good order. The modern distribution service for the kitchen industry should cover all the bases - from carcases and doors to worksurfaces, sinks and taps as well as appliances and accessories like free-standing furniture.

Retailers and smaller manufacturers making up their own bespoke kitchens for individual customers are now in the situation where the kitchen buying public are far more educated and discerning than say five or ten years ago. They understand the value of internal storage, smooth movement, soft close etc. They also want appliances that offer the latest performance advances. Today's kitchen distributor must be able to say "yes" to all these aspects of supply and more. In short, the modern distributor must be one step ahead of the game on all fronts.
