Champion BuildBurnt Oak Broadway, North LondonBeko appliances – 75 apartmentsHaving worked with Beko Appliance Partners for the past five years, design-led construction contractor Champion Build recently chose our Beko-branded appliances to furnish 75 apartments within one of their clients’ new developments, Burnt Oak Broadway in Edgware, North London. Phil Wilson, Commercial Director at Champion Build, commented on the company’s partnership with Beko Appliance Partners: “Given the increasingly stringent budgets in the market, Beko Appliance Partners provide us with high-value products that maintain superior quality, aesthetics, and functionality, which is exactly what we were after for the Burnt Oak Broadway project. Additionally, we benefit from their excellent service levels. Their ease of collaboration aligns with our need for efficient and responsive partners in our fast-paced environment. We require companies in our supply chain network to react promptly, manage issues effectively, and support quick resolutions.”Phil continued: “We collaborate closely with our dedicated Specification Manager, Katie, who advises us on the most suitable appliances for each project. She keeps us informed about new product releases and alternative options to best meet our project requirements. This includes considering premium models for special projects, exploring mid-range products with varied functionalities, or optimising budgets with entry-level items. We’ve always had a really good experience with Beko Appliance Partners’ aftercare team – they are very good at understanding the contract market and appreciating the extremely tight timeframes we work under.”Beko’s space-saving features and functionality enable Champion Build to optimise their clients’ kitchen layouts, even where space is at a premium. Phil adds: “Many of the one-bedroom studio apartments we equip present challenging floorplans, making space-saving solutions in the kitchen highly advantageous.The slimline options offered by Beko are ideally suited for these smaller spaces. Notably, their new built-in oven with AirFry technology has garnered significant positive feedback. The integration of AirFry technology into the oven allows residents to eliminate the need for a separate air fryer, which is a substantial benefit.”Beko Appliance Partners worked closely with Champion Build on job programme dates to enable us to manage stock levels and ensure products were ready to be dispatched to site when required for installation. We look forward to working with Champion Build again on their next project.
