Kitchen appliances and bathroom distributor PJH has announced a strategic alliance with Korean giant Samsung to supply its home appliance products across its UK distribution network.
From March 1, Bolton-based PJH will offer its customers a diverse selection of Samsung appliances, including ovens, induction hobs, dishwashers, washing machines and fridge-freezers.
The offering from PJH and Samsung will include its Bespoke Series of appliances, including ovens that feature its Dual Cook feature as well as steam combinations and combi microwaves.
Through its First Choice Service, PJH guarantees next-day delivery of stocked items to 93% of UK postcodes.
Commenting on the new partnership with Samsung, PJH product manager Dale Gabriel said: “Partnering with Samsung expands our customers’ options, and we have curated a portfolio of products that complement our existing range, giving us a depth and breadth of top household brands right through to our own brand Prima.
“With consumers increasingly mindful of energy consumption, PJH believes that appliances featuring enhanced benefits, such as energy efficiency, are pivotal in the market. Samsung’s renowned innovative technology makes it an ideal partner for PJH, and now available through our vast distribution network, both retailers and their customers can rely on exceptional customer service to deliver the best experience.”
Samsung UK kitchen retail channel manager Jonathan Hartley added: “As part of the continued growth of Samsung Home Appliances in the UK kitchen market, we have again scaled up to expand product availability. We see PJH distribution as a pivotal support to the retailer for quick availability and range choice across the brand.”
He concluded: “PJH is a national established distributor and was a natural progression for Samsung to continue to unlock access for kitchen retailers and builders merchants to the range in the UK. We look forward to building on this new partnership and continue to drive further consumer awareness via the independent kitchen retailers.”
PJH will join Samsung on its stand at the kbb Birmingham show on March 3-6 on stand K70, where the PJH sales team will be available to discuss customer requirements.
PJH was established in 1972, operates from seven sites around the UK, employs around 550 people, has 355,000sq ft of warehousing space and a stockholding of more than £25 million.
