Additionally, Whirlpool UK is now also offering installation of their built-in appliances1. This service is available on the leading ranges of built-in appliances, including the Hotpoint Class 9, Indesit Aria and the Whirlpool Fusion ranges of cooking appliances.
Karen Slack, Senior Project Manager, Supply Chain, Whirlpool UK Appliances Limited says: “The major expansion of our logisitics service enables further enhancement of the customer journey, offering a complete solution and service from the point of purchase through to the final installation. For retailers, this offers a considerable advantage, raising their game in the delivery and installation services available, while being able to compete in the ever-challenging white goods environment today.”
Ian Moverly, Brand Communications Director, Whirlpool UK Appliances Limited says: “We understand that the purchasing journey of a major domestic appliance can be complex. We want our consumers to have a professional and seamless end-to-end experience. The final ten steps of the home delivery process is the most crucial in the whole journey of purchasing an appliance; our strategy has been to realign our home delivery service to offer a smooth experience to all of our customers.”
