Heritage, Legacy & Succession
For nearly three decades, Callerton and Blum have built a partnership based on innovation, trust, and long-term success. At our recent event, we celebrated retailers who have successfully transitioned their businesses across generations, ensuring their continued growth.
By embracing heritage while evolving with the industry, Callerton remains committed to supporting independent retailers, helping them adapt, grow, and thrive in an ever-changing market.
Building on a Strong Foundation
For nearly three decades, Callerton and Blum have worked hand-in-hand to push the boundaries of kitchen design and innovation. But beyond the technology and product advancements, what truly sets this partnership apart is its deep-rooted heritage, long-standing relationships, and commitment to succession planning within the industry.
At our recent event at the Blum Experience Centre, we took the time to reflect on the importance of legacy and how it continues to shape the future of kitchen retail.
Honouring the Past, Inspiring the Future
The Callerton and Blum partnership is built on trust, collaboration, and a shared vision for the future of kitchen design. From manufacturing to design innovation, both companies have a track record of investing in people, processes, and partnerships that stand the test of time.
One of the key focuses of the evening event was recognising retailers who have successfully transitioned their businesses across generations. These are the companies that have adapted to industry changes, embraced new ideas, and ensured their businesses continue to flourish.
James Herriot, Founding Director of Callerton, shared:
“For nearly three decades, Callerton and Blum have worked together to innovate and inspire. This latest venture not only celebrates our shared history but looks ahead to a future full of opportunities.”
What Legacy Means
for the Kitchen Industry
For retailers and manufacturers alike, succession planning and long-term vision are essential for sustainable growth. Whether it’s passing a business down through generations or evolving with changing customer expectations, the ability to adapt while maintaining core values is what ensures longevity in this industry.
As Callerton continues to innovate with Blum, we remain focused on helping independent retailers grow their businesses for the long term—offering support, training, and industry-leading solutions to keep them at the forefront of the market.
