KBBG - Celebrating 10 years (for web)

KBBG Celebrating 10 Year Anniversary

The Kitchen Bathroom Buying Group (KBBG) launched the first independent buying group for the KBB industry in the UK 10 years ago. To celebrate the occasion, KBBG is hosting its largest, most-prestigious, Annual Members’ Meeting to date on 12th June at the home of the Formula 1 British Grand Prix, Silverstone.

Since 2013, KBBG (part of DER KREIS, Europe’s leading kitchen and bathroom buying group) has successfully supported independent kitchen and bathroom specialists across the UK. The KBBG offers its UK members exclusive buying conditions and access to a broad range of leading kitchen and bathroom suppliers, ensuring they stay ahead of the competition, while maintaining their independence.

Bill Miller, Managing Director, KBBG, comments: “It’s hard to believe it has been 10 years since we brought the DER KREIS buying group to the UK as the KBBG. There were a few sceptics in our early days, so we are very proud to be celebrating 10 years and can confidently say that our members are reaping the benefits of being part of the buying group.

“We hold our Members’ Meeting annually and this year’s event will be a true reflection on how far we have come as a group. The Silverstone Wing Building, which overlooks the start/ finish line of the world-famous British Circuit in Northamptonshire, has the capacity for our ever-growing membership, as well as space for our largest ever ‘Supplier Display Area’. Our exhibiting suppliers will be sharing exclusive offers only available to members on the day.”

The 2023 Annual Members’ Meeting is sponsored by kitchen, bedroom and bathroom furniture manufacturer, JJO Plc. With the opportunity to hear from inspirational speakers and plenty of networking breaks, guests are also invited to visit the Silverstone Museum following the conference, which will truly make the day one to remember.

Jon Thelwell, Sales Director, JJO Plc, comments: “We joined the KBBG, as a supplier, in 2015 and have worked closely with members of the buying group ever since. We are pleased to be sponsoring the Annual Members’ Meeting for the KBBG’s 10th anniversary. The meetings are always a fantastic opportunity to meet with KBB specialists and build on current business relationships, as well as creating new ones. We look forward to sharing our latest products and offers with members of the KBBG on 12th June.”

KBBG members and suppliers can register to attend the event by following the link on their invitation. If you are an independent kitchen/bathroom specialist and not a member of the KBBG, call Bill Miller on 07887 247811 or email b.miller@derkreis.co.uk for more information or to enquire about joining the buying group.
