Leading French kitchen brand Mobalpa has strengthened its UK franchise team in preparation for its ambitious growth plans across the country.

Liam Wall has been appointed UK development manager and will manage both business and brand development. His remit includes expansion of the brand’s network and ensuring Mobalpa becomes more nationally recognised and regarded.

Country manager UK Kyle Whittle says: "This is a key time for the development of Mobalpa in the UK, and we are delighted to reinforce our team here and welcome Liam on board to help us with our exciting upcoming plans and development.

"Liam brings with him insight from every aspect of the kitchen industry, from designing and selling to showroom and regional management. This mix of knowledge and experience will prove invaluable."

Liam says: "Mobalpa has such a unique and innovative approach to designing its kitchens, constantly evolving and thinking outside of the norm. I cannot wait to help this brand develop across the country, working directly with new and existing franchises. Watch this space!"

Led by Kyle, the Mobalpa UK team, which focuses on developing new and existing franchisees in the UK, also includes Stuart Kirkpatrick as network manager and Dominique Mugnier as technical manager.

With more than 400 outlets worldwide, Mobalpa launched in the UK in 2012 with a concept pilot showroom in Warrington.
