UK's largest kitchen supplier collapses, causing over 100 job losses

Waterline Limited, the UK's largest kitchen supplier, has collapsed into administration, resulting in over 100 job losses. The company, founded 77 years ago, supplied thousands of retailers and fitters nationwide. Its collapse follows a period of dwindling demand after a pandemic-era surge, compounded by the cost-of-living crisis and increased National Insurance costs. Administrators were appointed on October 9. The firm had approximately 5,000 customers at the time of its filing.
