Founded in 2000, Leaker Direct (Distribution) Ltd., part of the Leaker Direct Group, specialises in distribution to the kitchen specialist sector, working with market-leading appliances, sinks and taps brands, Baumatic says. It adds that with a 55,000 sq.ft warehouse at Motherwell in Lanarkshire, the company runs its own fleet of vehicles, and offers a next day service from a logistics partner.

Baumatic marketing director Owain Harrison commented: “We’re very pleased to be working with Leaker Direct as it has such an incredible foothold in the Scottish specialist kitchens market. We greatly look forward to working with the Group and increasing our distribution in Scotland.”

Leaker Direct managing director Arthur Leaker added: “We’re delighted to add Baumatic to our distribution portfolio. Many of our customers are kitchen specialists so we can bring the exclusive Baumatic Premium Line to kitchen studios, while bringing the rest of the brand’s appliance collection to a wider independent retail audience in Scotland.”
