Welcome to the bumper issue of Costa Life. We wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year

Unique Lifestyle

Since 1974, Sonderborg Kitchen Industry – called “Sønderborg Køkkenet” in Danish – has contributed to the design of the Classic Danish kitchen. Many Danish homes have throughout the years chosen this kitchen because of the innovative design and the fact that there has never been any compromise regarding materials and the level of quality. Today it is partly for the same reasons that many prefer this kitchen, but also because of the solid financial foundation of the company. Especially in this time where the actual financial crisis is causing more and more companies and shops to report stagnation, decreasing sales, redundancies and worst of all closure.

As there is no compromise in the quality of their product, there is no comprise with agreements either – neither with clients or suppliers and throughout many years Sonderborg Kitchens have built a solid financial foundation, not so easy to shake at the best of times nor during a financial crisis. Thus, the company once again has been awarded the highest credit rating; Triple A. This is a very good achievement as only 4.7% of a total of 216.000 Danish companies that are bound to present their accounts, have succeeded attaining this credit score. The Triple A is a quality stamp that is only given to companies with a solid economy and a very high ability to meet actual engagement of payments.  “We are experiencing more and more clients who are ordering their new Sonderborg Kitchen, because they feel safe that we  will be here tomorrow. They know the quality is very good and with this stamp they are also sure that we can keep our promises” – says co-founder and owner of Sonderborg Kitchen Industry - Mr. Johnny Petersen.

Also on the Costa Del Sol, where Sonderborg Kitchens have been represented since 1988, is felt the demand for security regarding investing in kitchens, wardrobes and bathrooms and of course 20 years on the Coast makes a big difference when the clients makes the decision to purchase a new kitchen. “We have through the years seen many kitchen companies that have come and gone with the result that clients and suppliers have got caught in the middle with lost deposits, half-done kitchens and suppliers without payments. Therefore we put high demands on our dealer Unique Lifestyle S.L. – who take care of our interests on the Costa Del Sol – so that we make sure that clients also can be serviced later on if necessary” – says Mr. Johnny Petersen and he continues: “It is obvious that our dealers have to be honest and trustworthy human beings who have a natural talent for design and decorating, but they certainly also need to have the talent and ability to run a business, because it is the reputation of Sonderborg Kitchens that is at stake, but there is no doubt that Henrik B. Kristiansen, who is running Unique Lifestyle S.L. for the 7th year, has the talent.

“I am proud to be a part of Sonderborg Kitchens. It is like a family where you help and take care of each other and where my creative ideas are not met with limits by standard measures and exact door styles. Apart from that it is also fantastic continuing a story of success that goes back 20 years on the Coast” says Henrik from Unique Lifestyle S.L...

There is no doubt that they are proud of their history and of their product. They are though, very aware that it is the clients that have made it all possible and they would like to take the opportunity to show their gratitude to all the clients that have shown them their confidence through the years. Therefore everybody who has a Sonderborg Kitchen is invited to participate in a competition. The main competition is about finding the oldest Sonderborg Kitchens on the Costa Del Sol and the 3 oldest will win an up-grade of hinges and drawers to the 2009 model. Among the rest of the Sønderborg Kitchens that are not old enough or new there will be a competition for another exciting prize.

It is easy to participate; Take a photo of the kitchen and the brand “Sønderborg Køkken”. Put it together with your name, address, phone number and documentation for when the kitchen was bought and bring it in to the showroom in Fuengirola, which is open Monday to Friday 10.00 – 15.00 or by appointment. You can also send it by e-mail to hbk@unique-lifestyle.com.

All proposal needs to be send in latest the 10th of April 2009 and the winners will be announced at a reception at the Showroom of Unique Lifestyle in Fuengirola where everybody is more than welcome to come and hear old kitchen stories and maybe start new ones…
