In related news, kbbreview recently wrote about the new Stoves Deluxe range available with FreedomFLEX, a zoneless induction hotplate that is helping to launch the brand’s resurgence, and GDHA also celebrated its 50th anniversary earlier on this year.
Kearns continued: “We need to make sure we’ve got a consistent brand message for when consumers go to retailers through a full coordinated effort across PR, marketing and above the line. We want to introduce audiences to products like this, but also for them to know that this isn’t the only time you’ll hear about us as a brand.”
Stoves claims that the new zoneless induction hotplates are a world first for range cookers, allowing customers to position any pan of any shape or size, anywhere on their hotplate.
