Avanti's new-look showcase

Lynn Hopkins and Solihull Mayor Councillor David Bell.

Avanti Kitchens and Bedrooms is broadening its horizons in style - with a major new multi-million pound showroom development.

The acclaimed group defied the economic downturn to launch its latest venture at Stratford Road, Shirley. Four jobs have been created following substantial investment in the showroom, which comprises a wide array of traditional and contemporary kitchens and bedroom layouts.

Solihull Mayor Councillor David Bell cut the ribbon to mark the official launch and was later treated to a VIP tour of the showroom with Mayoress Sally Bell.

The Avanti group has 11 showrooms in the West Midlands and a 130-strong workforce.
