Why we're different

Why we're different

A family business with a passion for kitchens

Run by the Warnes family, COD Kitchen Appliances and Altrincham Kitchen Centre (AKC) uniquely complement one another.

COD Kitchen Appliances was established in 1973 by Charles Warnes. His commitment to traditional customer service values and competitive pricing, is why COD Kitchen Appliances is now one of the largest supplier of kitchen appliances in the North West of England.

With COD’s growing reputation for stocking quality appliances it was a natural step to set up Altrincham Kitchen Centre in 1983. AKC combines the great customer service values of COD Kitchen Appliances with a passion for designing beautiful and technologically advanced kitchens.

Under Charles’ expert stewardship the two companies occupy an impressive site in the Cheshire town of Altrincham.

With plenty of space in the kitchen and appliances showroom, it made perfect sense to set up The Cheshire Cookery School, run by Lisa Warnes, Charles' daughter-in-law. 

You delivered a washer to us this evening, our old one had broken, a real problem. Anyway, we would like to commend you for your marvelous service. My Wife called around 4-00pm, and, the machine was delivered about 5-00pm, installed by about 5-30pm, now working! Thank you so much, we are delighted. Your delivery guy was brilliant.
