Contracts specialist Stolz Kitchens ceases trading
CONTRACTS SPECIALIST Stolz Kitchens Ltd has been placed into creditors’ voluntary liqui- dation by its directors with the loss of more than 20 jobs. The company provided a nationwide supply and installation service exclusively to the contracts market, supplying quality European and British kitchens tailored to developers’ needs from its headquarters in Henfield, West Sussex.
Commenting on the decision to cease trading, operations director Darryl Cope told kbbreview: “I can confirm that Stolz have entered creditors’ voluntary liquidation and have notified all creditors, including the redundancies of the entire Stolz [staff]. “Despite a strong order intake and a healthy forward order book, the investment to support the growth isn’t forthcoming.”
He added: “There have been highs and lows, from being award-winning to suffering the loss of one of our Stolz family members and best friend [Gareth Croker], but we will always be proud of what we achieved. “There will be some amazing people
available, and I urge anyone to hire those whose CV has Stolz in their employment history – they will certainly be an asset to their business.” The Stolz Kitchens business was started in 2017 by Darryl Cope, who was previously operations director with Alno, ex-Alno sales director Damian Sheridan and Gareth Croker, who passed away in October 2020. Stolz Kitchens was a new contracts business set up in 2017 as part of a new group, Quality Kitchens Holdings Ltd, by ex-Paula Rosa MD Paul Brew. The group also incorporated the In-Toto kitchen retail franchise – acquired by Nolte in March 2021 – and stone fabrication business Precision Stone, which continues to trade.
Compusoft + 2020 rebrands as Cyncly
COMPUSOFT + 2020, which merged in December 2021, will now be known under the name Cyncly. The name comes from the words “synchronisation” and “simplicity” and is said to symbolise how the company wants to simply connect designers, retailers, manufacturers, contractors and consumers.
Cyncly CEO Joerg Jung (pictured),
said: “Our new brand, Cyncly, unites us and encompasses our passion to drive innovation to enable our customers to be more successful. “We are transforming how our customers do business,” added Jung, “enabling them to simplify complexity, grow sales, increase efficiency, and drive innovation.
“Bringing together best-in-industry
solutions from all our brands, Cyncly helps everyone in the value chain make their work and the outcomes for their customers amazing.” Cyncly will
act as the
parent company for the other sub-brands it
owns, such as Compusoft, 2020 and
Virtual Worlds. At the start of September, Cyncly bought CAD and 4D visualisation company Virtual Worlds to strengthen its presence in the bathroom and kitchen market. Cyncly has a new website that showcases the brands, the company values and details on how the different brands can be used for designers. Shortly after it announced its rebrand, Cyncly revealed that it had purchased US firm Mozaik, which provides software for the custom cabinetmaking market.
In a statement, the company said the acquisition “expands Cyncly’s global coverage of the living spaces marketplace and will help establish a strong presence in the North American custom cabinet market.”
