GERMAN kitchen retailer Kutchenhaus has this month opened a new showroom in Taunton - its 32nd outlet in the UK.

The company has taken on three staff across customer services and kitchen design based at the 1,300 sq ft unit.

Manager Graham Jones has worked for some of the biggest kitchen retailers in the UK over the past 30 years

He said: "The team is incredibly excited to have opened the brand-new showroom in Taunton.

"It has taken three months to completely transform the space to Kutchenhaus’s high-quality standards.
