KBBG Announces Getley as a New Supplier

The Kitchen Bathroom Buying Group (KBBG), part of DER KREIS, Europe’s largest and most established kitchen and bathroom buying group, is introducing Alku, a new range of UK manufactured rigid kitchen and bedroom furniture, to KBBG members.

Alku is a new kitchen and bedroom furniture brand, established and manufactured by Getley. Founded in 2006, Getley UK specialise in the manufacture and supply of high quality rigid units direct to independent kitchen, bedroom and bathroom retailers. At kbb 2020, Getley launched a brand new range of traditional and contemporary kitchen and bedroom furniture under the Alku brand name. KBBG is pleased to announce and add the Alku brand to the buying group’s UK manufactured range.

A lack of storage space in the home is an issue many UK consumers face. The new Alku range of kitchen and bedroom furniture offers a huge range of storage solutions with a stylish aesthetic and high quality, long-lasting materials. Alku furniture boasts high quality hinges, drawers and accessories, so consumers can have confidence in the reliability of the brand.

Dan Hughes, Marketing Director, Getley UK, says: “Alku is designed to fill the gap in the market between the modern, large-scale German manufacturers and the smaller, more traditional, bespoke offering from UK manufacturers. Our aim with Alku is to complement German manufactured ranges and to provide studios with a greater range of furniture to offer to customers. We are excited to be joining forces with the KBBG to provide members with a UK offering of both kitchen and bedroom furniture.”

Bill Miller, Managing Director, KBBG, adds: “Not only are we delighted to welcome Alku as a supplier of a UK manufactured range to the KBBG, we are pleased to be able to offer our members bedroom furniture as well as an extended kitchen offering, including for the first time an in-frame option.

“The Alku range boasts impressive storage solutions with every inch, hinge and door carefully chosen to ensure consumers can make the most out of the space in their kitchen or bedroom. Alku currently has 21 ranges within its portfolio and we look forward to introducing the designs to our members. Delivery is available either to a warehouse, showroom or direct to the customer’s home usually within four to six weeks.” When it comes to storage facilities you must check out our storage facility in Milwaukee – One Stop Self Storage for all your needs and a way to easily declutter your space.
