Chalon rebuffs administration rumour

Handmade kitchen furniture manufacturer and retailer Chalon is not in administration and rebuffed claims of financial difficulty.

Slamming any speculation, marketing manager of Chalon Barney Bell said: “It’s not true. We are not in administration. We are operating and training through our showrooms as per normal.”

The company, which has its headquarters and showroom in Somerset, is sold through a network of five additional Chalon retailers. These include showrooms in King's Road in London, St Albans, Harrogate, Tunbridge Wells and most recently Knutsford. Chalon also sells its kitchens through an agent in Dublin and to the developer market.

According to its website, Chalon is also looking to expand its business with trade partners across the globe.
Chalon was founded in 1981 by Michael and Rose Chalon, who designed furniture to emulate the eighteenth and nineteenth century, with a painted finish.

The company recently sponsored a show garden, teaming up with RHS medal award-winning Carolyn Hardern, at the RHS Tatton Park Flower Show
