Paul & Carol Bennett

Eastern Waikato Joinery Ltd

Several years ago we were asked if we wanted to be involved in NZKC to help give our small business better purchasing options than other companies.

We could see the benefit that it would have for us competing with larger kitchen manufacturers and have been pleased with the various group purchasing options available that have saved us money. The variety of savings has increased over time and we are very pleased we joined the group to get the benefit of being part of a larger purchasing group.

Anthony Neustroski

Maymorn Joiners Ltd

I was really excited when I was offered a chance to join the New Zealand Kitchen Cooperative, I knew straight away that I would see instant benefit. Being part of a larger buying group has the obvious purchasing benefits but the Kitchen Co-op also proactively keeps me up to date on new products and information and, there are only very small costs to be involved. I would recommend you take a look at the New Zealand Kitchen Cooperative if you get the chance to.

Carolyn Rawson

Danska Cabinetmaking

We have joined NZ Kitchen Co-op with the view that being part of a buying group will put us more in line with some of bigger organisations in the market, allowing us to access competitive pricing & increasing negotiating power with suppliers. Thus benefiting both our business and our clients

Sheryl Edelston

Our relationship with New Zealand Kitchen Cooperative is steadily growing as we see the benefits offered by reliable suppliers promoted by the group.

Karen Adams

Broadway Joinery

Broadway Joinery are an established firm with a strong local presence in Stratford. Being a small joinery business we saw an advantage in joining the NZ Kitchen Co-op to give us buy pricing advantages. We have also been able to assist customers with other benefits due to our Supply Partner negotiations on products which in turn gives us better bottom line benefits.
