KBBG Adds UK Kitchen Brand JJO To It’s Portfolio

The Kitchen Bathroom Buying Group (KBBG), part of DER KREIS, has added a leading UK kitchen brand to its rapidly expanding portfolio.

Family owned, JJO was established in 1868 and based at Bacup in Lancashire and is one of the largest manufacturers of kitchen, bedroom and bathroom furniture in the UK, with a wide range of quality offerings to suit all tastes.

JJO’s Sales Director, John Pollitt, says: “JJO Plc is delighted to be working in partnership with KBBG. The attraction of JJO Plc becoming part of the KBBG portfolio is that both parties concerned are one hundred per cent focused and dedicated to serving independent kitchen specialist retailers.  For this reason, there was immediate synergy.  JJO Plc brands, Colonial Kitchens, Eco Kitchens, Colonial Bedrooms and Eco Bathrooms, offer alternatives to the German brands and styles, allowing KBBG members to purchase styles and colours in keeping with many UK client requirements.”

Bill Miller, KBBG’s Managing Director, says: “The addition of such a prestigious UK kitchen brand to our group is another major feather in our cap and once again a clear demonstration of our desire to bring our members the very best suppliers in our industry. We have made tremendous progress in a relatively short space of time and we continue to work with our members and suppliers in order to strengthen the position of UK independent kitchen specialists. We are looking to add further retail members to our group who are pro-active and wish to make their mark with top quality offerings for their customers. The support of JJO will certainly help us achieve this.”
