Internet Retailer Plumbworld Moves to the High Street

Evesham, United Kingdom, March 18, 2006 --(PR.com)-- The UK's largest independent online retailer of Bathroom products, www.plumbworld.co.uk Ltd has made it's first move into bricks and mortar retailing with a new store in Altrincham, operated under the brand Bathroom World.

www.plumbworld.co.uk Ltd which has been selling bathrooms online since 1999 and now has an online turnover in excess of £12 Million a year, is keen to bring web prices to the high street and fill a gap in the consumer's choice for bathrooms:

James Hickman, Managing Director of www.plumbworld.co.uk Ltd said:

“At one end of the market you have the low cost, standard bathroom products offered by the large groups, like B&Q and Homebase, and at the other end you have the high end, high cost bathroom boutiques. The market in the middle, ordinary people wanting something a little different for their bathrooms is not well served. With the launch of our High Street Bathroom World stores we intend to target these customers and provide the same great value we provide on the web to those people who would rather shop on the high street.”

The first Bathroom World shop is at 28 George Street, in the Stamford Quarter of Altrincham.

Group Director, Julian Smith said “We felt that Altrincham was the perfect location to launch the first of 12 stores planned across the UK, and are delighted to be able to take part in the regeneration of Altrincham Town Centre.”
