Ross-On-Wye Kitchens’ Founder Kate Archer said: “We thoroughly enjoyed celebrating our first birthday with special guests. It has been an exciting year for us and an interesting time for many with several prime ministers, a new monarch, the rise of inflation and the cost of living and energy crises. However, I am lucky to have had support from the local community and I continue to benefit from client recommendations. We have no supplied and installed 20 kitchen projects and I am really proud of our achievements.”
The Caple brand was introduced in 1995. The company has won awards for its appliances and kitchen cabinetry including the Ideal Home Kitchen awards 2023 for the Fosso 4-in-1 stainless steel tap.
Ms Archer has experience in home improvement and construction sectors, which includes managing a £1.1 million showroom. Ms Archer explained to ERT why she set up her first Caple Studio: “I love the fact that Caple is a family-run business with core values, which includes full support for independent retailers. We simply order every product from Caple who then deliver directly to site. I can also speak to a dedicated Caple support team, who listen to my needs, take feedback onboard and constantly strive to improve.”
Caple’s Managing Director Danny Lay said: “We were delighted to help Ross-on-Wye Kitchens celebrate their first birthday at their Caple Studio. As this new business continues to go from strength to strength, we look forward to seeing what future years will bring for Kate and her team.”
