As part of the development of the Francis Pegler portfolio, four new ranges of long awaited taps and mixers for the bathroom and kitchen have now joined Maverick and Storm.

Named Haze, Loko, Rossi and Izzi, these new designs have a distinctly Italian flavour and have been designed to compliment the modern home in a stylish yet affordable way. Following years of steady growth in the UK brassware market, the impact of the credit crunch is beginning to make itself felt. Pegler Yorkshire has responded by introducing these new ranges, which have been designed and developed to be competitive on price, without compromising on style or performance. Maverick and Storm intend to be the flagship products, while the new ranges will offer Italian flair, coupled with the highest standards of British design and premium performance. With its ergonomically designed handle and graceful arched spout, Loko is a sturdy yet attractive range, with models for both kitchen and bathroom while Izzi with its contemporary design, exemplified by its pierced shaped lever handle has the smooth appeal that is perfect for the modern bathroom. Rossi offers a distinctive sculpted curved lever control, which contrasts with the fluidity of the chrome, plated body and giving a stylish look from every angle. Last but not least, Haze offers smooth curves and a minimalist style that is proving so popular in the marketplace. “We are really excited about the launch of these new products,” said product market manager Mike Dickinson, “These new additions to the Francis Pegler portfolio widens the options for retailers and enables our customers to offer competitively priced yet fashionable taps and mixers, while retaining the high quality and finish associated with the Pegler Yorkshire name.”
