As premium Italian brands go, there is none more steeped in heritage than Bertazzoni, whose stylish and sturdy range cookers have made a nice impact in the UK over the last couple of years.

Stoves were the first to market with an induction range cooker, and cleverly made the introduction easier and more affordable by building the hotplate as a hybrid utilising four induction zones, two radiant zones and a warming zone.

Gazco have announced the sale of their Redfyre Cooker and Don Heating Products businesses to Aga Rangemaster Limited. Although it is sad to see another good brand lose its independence, and tempting to take an “another one bites the dust” attitude, the move into the ever-more-populated Aga stable should allow the Redfyre brand to thrive and continue to be developed, according to Gazco MD Morley Sage...

Competition aside, it is always sad to see a fellow retailer fall by the wayside, and the recent announcement that Trading Post have gone into receivership is a sign of the hard times many retailers are experiencing, which force some to sail rather closer to the wind than they would prefer. Naturally, we wish the unfortunate employees of Trading Post well.
On the other side of the coin, we sincerely hope that any customers or suppliers innocently caught up in this recent case are able to recover any monies or goods lost!
We have certainly been doing our best to help out Trading Post customers who have been let down, and are often able to arrange Express Delivery of Rangemaster or other brands, so call us if you are in a similar position and we will do our best to help!
