We were sorry to hear that Moores Furniture Group has entered into administration.
Whilst the company was a competitor of ours, we believe it is in everyone’s interests
to have a strong kitchen industry based here in the UK.
Wren’s Contracts division had been in talks with Moores and the administrators but
unfortunately was unable to save the business. We have however agreed an exclusive
option to provide customers affected by this situation with the ability to seamlessly
transfer outstanding contracts over to us. This will ensure those customers will be
able to continue their operations with absolutely no impact on price, delivery
schedules or administration costs.
Due to the unique way Wren manufacture, we will also be able to assist customers by
supplying cabinets and doors in the bespoke sizes which Moores had been supplying
to the market, we envisage this will help housebuilders and public sector landlords
with any warranty issues they or their customers may have been having or may need
to resolve in the future.
Wren’s Contract division had recently committed to a sales office in Harrogate, and
we have agreed with the administrator that we will engage immediately with Moores
management team to see if there are opportunities to provide alternative
employment to a significant number of Moores sales, operations and internal support
teams.
Wren is one of the largest kitchen manufacturers in Europe and with over 3 million sq
ft of manufacturing capacity in the UK it is committed to providing homeowners,
housebuilders and public sector landlords with a stable, secure source of premium
kitchens and bedrooms at affordable prices.
