Kitchen, bedroom and bathroom manufacturer JJO has strengthened its reputation as one of the country’s leading suppliers after receiving top industry recognition for its products.

One of the Bacup-based firm’s exclusive outlets beat tough competition from 100 other independent retailers, during a mystery shopping exercise carried out by industry experts.

R&R Kitchens, based in Sussex, was praised for its impressive showroom standards, during the visit by leading kitchen magazine KBB. JJO has been supplying R&R Kitchens exclusively for more than 17 years.

JJO’s Managing Director Stephen Greenhalgh, said: “This is a prestigious accolade and despite being a small firm, R&R Kitchens have gone from strength to strength whilst major retailers have suffered in the economic downturn.

“This is because they manage to combine good value for money with good quality of products and service and we are pleased to play a part in that.”

Steve Roller, Managing Director of R&R Kitchens, commented: “JJO have an excellent reputation within the industry and they have played a major part in our success. We have built up a great relationship with the firm and I hope it can continue in the coming years.”

Based in Bacup, JJO was founded over 100 years ago and is now the leading supplier to many of the best outlets within the industry. The firm produces over 600 kitchens, bedrooms and bathrooms every week.
