“We want our members to not only benefit from the insights and takeaways shared during the keynote speeches, but also to discuss the new deals and opportunities available directly with our suppliers, to make the day spent out of their showrooms even more worthwhile.

“We had great success with this at Silverstone in 2023 and being able to outclass this and host 29 suppliers this year is a new milestone that we are very proud of”

During the conference, Bill Miller revealed a new supply agreement with kitchen manufacturer Omega PLC and a partnership between the KBBG and the Kbsa.

He also highlighted the mykitchenspecialist website created to help deliver more consumer leads for KBBG members.

Indivivual leads will be followed by the mykitchenspecailist team with briefs forwarded on to the customer’s local myspeicalist retail for follow-up, so retailers can focus on quality projects.

Bill concludes: “We chose the National Space Centre as this year’s venue as we wanted the event to focus on the theme of moving forward.

“The centre certainly exceeded our expectations and we have received wonderful feedback from our members with many posing the question ‘how will you top that next year?’.

“A huge thank you goes to our sponsor ArtiCAD, our exhibiting suppliers and our speakers for making the day so memorable.

“Thank you to all of our members that attended too. We look forward to another successful 12 months for the KBBG.”
