Lifelong friends help to build the<br />
unique kitchen of your dreams<br />
A PAIR OF LIFELONG SCHOOL FRIENDS HAVE LAUNCHED THE FIRST WEST MIDLANDS SHOWROOM<br />
OF LUXURY KITCHEN MANUFACTURER KESSELER’S UK PORTFOLIO IN SUTTON COLDFIELD<br />
Adam Crotty and Martyn Stevens have been best<br />
friends since their schooldays; the duo played football<br />
together, lived together, and Martyn was Adam’s best<br />
man at his wedding in 2017.<br />
And now they have both settled down and<br />
have families, Adam and Martyn felt that their<br />
professional skills and ethics would complement each<br />
other - so decided a business was going to be their<br />
next venture together.<br />
After two years of product and brand research,<br />
Adam and Martyn decided to bring unique British<br />
kitchen company Kesseler to the Midlands.<br />
The duo has a wealth of industry and business<br />
experience. With more than 16 years of experience<br />
in the kitchen industry alone, Adam previously<br />
worked for a German competitor for the last few<br />
years, while Martyn is a qualified accountant who<br />
has worked in the heart of Birmingham for the last<br />
18 years.<br />
The luxurious kitchen showroom on Thornhill Road<br />
in Sutton Coldfield, opened at the end of July to<br />
become Kesseler UK’s exclusive showroom in the<br />
West Midlands.<br />
The quality of the product and the brand vision was<br />
paramount to Adam and Martyn’s decision to either<br />
start up on their own or to team up with an existing<br />
brand. After meeting Scott Slater, managing director<br />
at Kesseler UK, and seeing the quality of the build<br />
and the drive for excellence in product and service<br />
they instantly knew this was the product and brand<br />
worth investing in.<br />
Adam says: “Both Martyn and myself are incredibly<br />
excited about opening the business’s very first<br />
showroom in the West Midlands. Kesseler has a firstclass<br />
reputation within the industry for designing and<br />
building some of the most unique kitchens in Europe<br />
and we’re really looking forward to working with our<br />
clients to deliver the kitchens of their dreams.”<br />
Martyn added: “There’s been a lot of hard work<br />

that has gone on behind the scenes leading up to the<br />
launch of the new showroom and we’re really proud<br />
with how it looks. Since the launch we have already<br />
had the opportunity to work with some great clients<br />
and installed some stunning projects.”<br />
Kesseler’s kitchens are all handmade in<br />
Nottinghamshire, built to the highest of standards<br />
using the company’s unique and globally-patented<br />
‘Fortis joint’ system.<br />
This innovative system is widely regarded by<br />
engineers, architects and joiners as being the<br />
strongest way of building kitchen furniture, and<br />
Kesseler are so confident that they offer clients an<br />
industry-leading lifetime guarantee on their kitchen<br />
furniture.<br />
The showroom, which will display the latest range of<br />
Kesseler kitchens, is available to visit without prior<br />
appointment. Pop into 58 Thornhill Road, Streetly,<br />
Sutton Coldfield to take a look, or visit<br />
