The global pandemic saw changes to the way all kbb businesses communicated and the same was true at Kitchens & Bathrooms News (KBN), as we expanded our YouTube channel with regular video interviews in 2020.

We spoke to kitchen and bathroom retailers, manufacturers and distributors to bring you a variety of opinions on the latest headlines and issues affecting the industry in 2020.

These joined our exhibition interviews, shot earlier in the  year at Kbb Birmingham, where we highlighted product launches which would influence kitchen and bathroom design.
