BATHROOMS BY RIPPLES
Simply a sanitary sanctuary, where we take care of all our human cleanliness needs in private, or is it more than that? At Ripples, we believe it is. What does a bathroom mean to you? To us, a bathroom is more than just a physical space, it s an emotional escape within which you can cleanse the soul. It s a place where you can enjoy the luxury of being alone. Where you can invigorate your sense of well-being, giving yourself a complete daily makeover. Be that by soaking in a warm, quiet, soap-sudded bath or by washing away the tired strains of a busy day under a beautiful, refreshing shower. The fact is, we need to attend to our personal hygiene, so why not do it in comfort and style? For many people, the bathroom is their favourite room in the whole house, especially when those people have been customers of Ripples. Take a look through the following pages and we ll show you why.
Who is Ripples? Like all great companies, Ripples was founded on a vision: to create a level of quality and service in bathroom retailing which at the time did not exist. To build a company which did not just sell the finest bathrooms, but lived and breathed them. With showrooms where you would find not just beautiful bathrooms, but also elements of taste, style and inspiration. The first Ripples opened in 1988, ironically enough in the spa city of Bath. How appropriate. Since then, the Ripples franchise network has grown across the UK, a recognisable and reassuring sign of quality on high streets in cities from Bath to London. When you enter Ripples, you are entering the domain of a team of top professionals who truly care. As franchisees, naturally they care about their business. But more importantly, they care passionately about your needs, and will endeavour to ensure that they are catered for in every way. Whether you are buying a tap or commissioning the design and supply of a brand new fitted bathroom. At Ripples we care right down to the last detail. And it s this passion that has won us many awards and accolades for our original bathroom designs over the many years since our inception. Today, the Ripples vision is as clear as ever. Award Winning At Ripples we dedicate many precious hours developing the skills of our talented designers with in-house training on architecture and interior design, so it is very satisfying when we say that they have been recognised by their industry peers time and time again. Over the years we have clocked up more than 60 awards for our bathroom designs, more than any other bathroom retailer in the UK, as well as awards for retail excellence, marketing and customer service. We are also very proud of a Special Achievement Award for services to the bathroom industry for our founder Roger Kyme. PAGE 2 / 59 PAGE 3 / 59
