Simon Acres Group to Host Second KBB Futures Roundtable at InstallerSHOW 2026

Specialist recruitment consultancy and online training provider, Simon Acres Group Limited, will host the second edition of its KBB Futures roundtable event at 12pm on 24th June at InstallerSHOW 2026.

Sponsored by Blanco and Trojan Baths, the roundtable discussion will be held at the Piazza Suite and will bring manufacturers, retailers, industry associations and other inspiring leaders together with the shared goal of actively shaping the future of the KBB industry.

With InstallerSHOW as the Associate Host, the discussion will be chaired by Amanda Hughes, KBB Content Creator and Live Events Facilitator. Amanda is also the Showroom Co-ordinator at EGGER London, and a specialist in ergonomics and ageing in the built environment. Delivered in front of a live audience, the session will give attendees the opportunity to pose questions directly to the expert panel, challenge ideas, and contribute their own perspectives.

As the second event in Simon Acres Group’s biannual KBB Futures series, the roundtable will build on key action points from the previous session, held in December 2025 at The Brewery, London. Covering crucial business matters, such as labour shortages, the future of design and how SMEs can take control of their growth, the panel will explore progress made to date and identify further actions needed to drive the KBB industry forward.

Simon Acres, Managing Director, Simon Acres Group, comments: “KBB Futures is an example of what can happen when we step out of our silos and commit to working together with openness and intent. As the sector navigates skills shortages, evolving customer expectations and the pace of innovation, the need for this collective mindset has never been greater. With each conversation, shared insight and joint action, we move closer to an industry that is not only more connected, but more resilient, more forward‑thinking and better equipped for the future.”

David Ventris-Field, Event Director, InstallerSHOW, adds: “InstallerSHOW provides the perfect platform for hosting Simon Acres Group’s second KBB Futures roundtable. Those attending the exhibition are actively looking for ways to grow their businesses, respond to change and stay ahead in an evolving market. Opening the roundtable discussion up to a live audience gives more people the opportunity to share ideas and take away practical insights that can be applied going forward.”
