The British Institute of Kitchen, Bedroom & Bathroom Installation (BiKBBI) has announced a partnership with electrical retailer AO, as it has become a sponsor of the government sanctioned institute.

Operating across the UK and Germany, AO has over 20 years’ experience selling, delivering, and installing household appliances for the public. It also has business-to-business clients through AO Business.

The BiKBBI reported AO’s sponsorship will play an “integral” role in the support of the institute’s objectives, including the development of industry apprenticeships.

MD at AO Business Anthony Sant said: “We’re so proud to have come on board as a sponsor of the British Institute of KBB Installation.

“At AO Business, we offer a unique proposition to customers, with our trained delivery fleet equipped to install any appliance we sell into customers’ homes.

“Whether we’re delivering to a vulnerable customer through our supported living team or installing 100s of appliances into new build homes with our housebuilder team, we truly understand the art of installation.

“Our proposition ensures all deliveries are hassle free for customers and we’ll even remove old appliances for safe recycling at AO’s plant in Telford!”

Chief executive of the BiKBBI Damian Walters said: “We’re working with some amazing businesses and we’re proud that leading brands continue to support our objectives via Corporate Sponsorship.

“AO is another example of a robust, reputable industry relevant business that understands the importance of installation and the work we do to make the industry a better place for all stakeholders.

“I am bowled over by AO’s support and I welcome them into the BiKBBI family with open arms!”

The BiKBBI has also recently announced retailer The Range is using its ProtectMyInstall service, an online service that provides fitting contracts and protects monies for consumers and installers.
