Building on success
Founded in 1888 Andersons as a business has seen many changes and the past 12 months has been no different. Brexit has been the buzz word of 2019 and as a business and a country we have waited patiently whilst we try to navigate a safe route out of the EU. The continued uncertainty of Brexit and a further exit delay until 31st January 2020 continues to test our resolve. Fluctuating currency rates has meant we have had to bargain harder than ever to ensure we are offering the best possible deal to our customers. Embracing change we move forward and can once again report record figures from all five of our outlets.
Benefits of this success and the solid platform this has created has allowed us to showcase our biggest ever winter sale. In coalition with our product partners we have put together an offer to rival all others and combined with new competitive finance options all the ingredients are there to ensure our upcoming biggest ever winter sale is stacked with one off offers and is the ideal opportunity for you to purchase your new kitchen. There has never been a better opportunity to take advantage of amazing discounts on units, worktops, sink and tap packs and appliances.
This year in our upcoming winter sale we have gone a step further and guarantee to beat any online quote on appliances worldwide. Furthermore our exclusive preview of our sale which begins on 1st December gives customers a relaxed way through what exclusive and amazing offers we have as well as giving them a unique opportunity to plan in advance prior to our Boxing Day launch.
From our humble beginnings in Denton Holme as a timber mill the Company has over time developed in to a timber manufacturer and importer to in the early 1970’s embracing the trend for fitted kitchens and providing a showroom for customers to view first-hand what new innovations were available.
The timber mill still thrives today and is now one of the few fully functioning timber mills in the North of England.
Andersons continues to be a pioneer in what is an extremely competitive sector in offering up to the minute design alternatives as well as unrivalled experience we continue to remain one step ahead of our competitors.
When it comes to offering new and exciting products we are at the forefront and this year has been no exception with the launch of several new kitchen ranges as well as embracing the revolutionary new Quooker Boiling/Cold Filtered and Carbonated water system.
Another huge plus for 2019 is the unrivalled success of our Internet Sales Division which we have seen go from strength to strength. Based at our Carlisle Head Office our dedicated
Internet sales team has been working tirelessly negotiating great terms with our product partners which has in turn enabled us to bulk buy appliances and offer these great deals throughout the entire United Kingdom. Our state of the art warehousing has allowed this transition in competing in an internet based environment seamless and we can now effortlessly service the internet needs of Great Britain. This sector has given us a great opportunity for us to compete and make a significant impact in this area in turn allowing us to branch into selling doors, floors and hardware all available to buy in our online shop.
This drive to continue to evolve means 2020 will have many developments on the horizon. We continue to work hand in hand with our suppliers to continue to offer something different and a valid alternative to the mainstream. Further strengthening our brand a recent Which Magazine survey rated the Factory Assembled Kitchen Units we supply as top in an industry wide analysis giving customers peace of mind that independently we rate highest in this sector. Not only are you getting it at an outstanding price but when purchasing an Andersons fitted kitchen you are receiving exceptional quality.
Managing Director Vince Woods commented “This year has thrown us many new challenges and we have faced these head on. We continue to strive to offer customers a Sale like no other and our endless negotiating and bargaining with our product partners ensures customers will never find a better time to invest in buying a new fitted kitchen. Careful consideration and preparation is vital when making this choice therefore we fully appreciate that this needs good planning, consultation and thought to ensure the choice you make is the right choice and at Andersons we help with experienced professional advice and guidance.
Your kitchen is a space where you spend approximately one third of your adult life therefore these spaces now need to incorporate the changing needs of consumers. Wi-Fi, Sound bars, music systems, phone charging points and televisions are all now options we need to consider when designing your kitchen and at Andersons we have staff with the expertise to guide you whilst ensuring you stay on budget.
As a company we realise the importance of customers being able to envisage their new dream kitchen whilst visiting our showrooms and that’s why our displays remain practical and innovative. It’s important to let customers touch and feel the quality on show and guided by our accommodating and expertly trained staff we create an environment where dreams really do come true”. Vince added “Increasingly we find major players in this industry asking clients to bring them their Andersons quotes so that they can beat it because they know our policy of best price first time. This shows we are now the benchmark for price and even multi nationals use our prices as the yardstick”.
