Bernsteins Story
These were the headlines in the local press just weeks before Christmas last year and for many of the Bernsteins workforce, these unfortunate events were the end of an era.
The Bernstein Group were arguably the most successful Kitchen manufacturing company that this country has produced and the quality of the Bernstein products gave way to a constant flow of business from all corners of the country and beyond. Quite how they came to collapse in the latter months of 2008 is much a question to us as the thousands of happy customers who returned for the products time and time again. Mismanagement, lost contracts or cashflow... It certainly wasn't anything to do with the product...that we know, as these brands live on...
It is with this knowledge and the faith in the product, that Mike Smith (who himself had a 26yr association with Bernsteins as sub-contractor and account holder) decided to resurrect the brand almost immediately.. and out of the ashes has risen Bernsteins Clearance Ltd.
With a new location and showroom within a short distance from the old factory, Mike is offering the same quality products that were available at the factory shop, at typically fantastic prices. Their knowledge and understanding of these products ensure that any Kitchen they sell will be the right choice for the customer.
Having secured the old Bernstein phone number and trading with all our old suppliers, we're now ready to carry on offering the people of Bolton, Wigan and beyond all the familiar Bernstein products, like the Four Seasons and Lifestyle ranges plus a few additions we’ve introduced to compliment these award winning kitchens….
Mike says, “its just like the old bgh factory shop really…only a bit posher”…
“Seriously though,” “we feel we have a pretty good understanding of what the customer want and expect… so now feel more able to deliver a complete first class service without the restrictions we had whilst working with such a large company” “hopefully making us more efficient and a lot easier to do business with”
* Please note 'Bernsteins Kitchens' is a trading name for Bernsteins Clearance Ltd
The new showroom at 561-565 Bolton Rd (Old Sofa Shop), is already trading but the grand opening is due at the beginning of Sept 2009.
