KBN is seeking nominations, from across the industry, for kitchen and bathroom retailers who should be inducted into the KBB Retail Hall of Fame.
Manufacturers, distributors, agents and PRs can all nominate a retailer or retailers to be included in the roll of honour.
Commenting on the launch, editor of KBN Philippa Turrell said: “From the arts, through to sports and science, there is a Hall of Fame to honour excellence for individuals in perpetuity.
“We are now introducing the concept to KBB retail, to create a permanent roll of honour and elite club of ambassadors.”
She added: “While KBN will be a custodian of the hall of fame, it will be curated by the industry and belong to the industry.”
An expert selection panel will choose inductees for 2025, from the nominations, for the inaugural KBB Retail Hall of Fame.
The first inductee will be featured in the January 2025 issue of KBN, online and promoted through the brand’s social media channels.
Email your nominations for the KBB Retail Hall of Fame, with a brief explanation why the KBB retailer should be inducted, to pturrell@hamerville.co.uk
The deadline for submissions is November 4, 2024.

Sintered stone manufacturer Neolith has launched Calacatta Roma and Cappadocia Sunset, inspired by nature and classical architecture, and for use in kitchens or bathrooms walls, floors, in gardens or facades.
They belong to The New Classtone and Fusioncollections which interpret marble and natural stone, respectively, and boast Neolith’s antibacterial NeolEAT technology.
Inspired by Ancient Rome, Calacatta Roma (pictured top) pays homage to Italian Carrara marble, with ochre and grey veins in a white background.
While the Cappadocia region, in central Turkey, with its rock formations formed by volcanoes and underground cities, has inspired Cappadocia Sunset (pictured below).

Just like all of Neolith’s surfaces, Calacatta Roma and Cappadocia Sunset are resistant to heat and atmospheric conditions, are 100% recyclable, and do not contain added quartz to their formulation.
