Welcome to a new season of The kbbreview Podcast, your host as always is Andy Davies and we're kicking it off with a very special and exclusive interview with Dr Reinhard Zinkann - one of the two co-owners of Miele.

Andy met him at the global appliance giant's new Experience Centre showroom bang in the middle of Wigmore Street in London.

Dr Zinkann's view of the market is about as top level as it gets so...

• What is his take on the current state of the market?
• What is the strategy behind the rollout of the Experience Centres and what it means for their independent dealers?
• Can dealers make a decent margin on appliances?
• Market was in disarray during lockdown boom - what lessons has he taken forward?
