Bertazzoni announces new partnership with Leaker Direct Distribution

Leaker Direct Distribution Ltd (LDD Group) has added premium Italian kitchen appliance company Bertazzoni to its already extensive offer. One of the largest independent kitchen and appliance distributors in the UK, the family-run firm has stockholding in excess of £5m and operates from a 500,000 sq ft premises in Motherwell.

With kitchen showrooms in Newhouse and Carnoustie, LDD Group specialises in supplying to trade, studios, contractual homebuilders and merchants. The business has already received training in Bertazzoni’s expansive portfolio and products are available immediately.

Bertazzoni is known for its range cookers, but has a large built-in offer encompassing ovens, hobs, ventilation, cooling and dishwashing. The entire Bertazzoni UK line-up will be available through LDD Group, encompassing a product portfolio of more than 700 SKUs.

Amanda Leaker, finance & marketing director at LDD Group, said: “As a family-run business ourselves, we really warmed to Bertazzoni’s familial heritage and its products complement our existing offer nicely. Choice is a major factor for consumers of late and we can only serve those demands if we have the requisite options available and Bertazzoni certainly has that in spades. Having learnt a lot about the brand over recent months, we’re pleased to have such high quality, well-engineered products in our stable.”

Paul Whyte, commercial director at Bertazzoni UK, added: “LDD Group aligns nicely with our values and the company’s strong foothold in Scotland will be a great platform for visibility and reach across the country. Working with the right partners is extremely important for us as a business and we’re looking forward to supporting Amanda and her team as we move forward together.”
