According to Quooker, in excess of 300,000 of its boiling water taps have now been installed in Europe’s kitchens.
Quooker MD Stephen Johnson (seen here), whose UK operation claims to have already sold over 50,000 Quooker taps in less than six years, said:
“Seeing the 300,000 milestone across Europe has been very rewarding, especially as a sixth of that has come from the UK alone.
“When we began, we knew we needed to educate the kitchen buying population that a Quooker tap was a better investment than a kettle. Now we hear from so many of our kitchen dealer partners that in less than a decade the Quooker has become the ‘must have’ item for new kitchens. We are also frequently told that it soon becomes the most frequently used appliance in every kitchen, bar none.”
Quooker is celebrating the landmark sales achievement by offering designer Quooker aprons to the best ten comments of congratulations via its social media streams on Facebook and Twitter.
The company says that over a quarter of a million of its Basic, Design, Modern and Classic dedicated boiling water taps had already been purchased by kitchen owners across Europe before Quooker launched its new Nordic series, which includes the Twintaps, the Fusion and the dedicated Nordic boiling water tap , eighteen months ago. These latest additions to the range, which come in a choice of Nordic Square or Nordic Round designs in polished or chrome finishes, have proved extremely popular says Quooker and already account for over a third of its taps sold each year in the UK.
Last year Quooker also added a soap dispenser to complement the Nordic series and a Scale Control Filter, which can be installed at the time of purchase or retrofitted to any existing Quooker installation; to give the Quooker added protection and longer life in hard water areas.
