Administrators to realise assets of major kitchen distributor
Waterline Limited, one of the UK's largest independent kitchen and bathroom distributors, founded in 1947, has entered administration and will be wound down after a search for a buyer failed. The company, which had seen strong growth in 2021 and 2022, declined sharply due to a drop in consumer spending on home improvements, high interest rates, and the cost-of-living crisis.
