The Beverley Chamber’s July meeting took place on Wednesday, 30th July at Tolle Kitchens, 4 Sow Hill Road. As always, it was held on the last Wednesday of the month, drawing a strong turnout from local business members.
Meeting Highlights:

Their presentation highlighted new materials, layouts, and technologies that are shaping modern kitchens, providing valuable inspiration for members in related industries. They also told us that they chose the name “Tolle” as it is German for great, fantastic or awesome.
