KBBG Enjoys Immense Success at kbb Show 2016

The Kitchen Bathroom Buying Group (KBBG), part DER KREIS, enjoyed huge success and a packed stand throughout the kbb Birmingham show.

Showcased for the very first time in the UK, the KBBG stand introduced the stunning new Störmer kitchen furniture range with the addition of modern and striking technology, available to KBBG members.  The spectacular flueless ethanol open fire, exclusive to Störmer, was an eye-catching inset between two built-in ovens, while O+F, Airo Design used the show as the UK launch platform for their induction hob with an integrated downdraft extractor.

Bill Miller, Managing Director, KBBG commented: “The stand looked stunning, with outstanding new furniture and appliances not seen before in the UK.  It attracted tremendous attention with current members taking the opportunity to sign-up for the raft of show offers, while we were flooded with new sales leads from superb quality independent kitchen specialists, exceedingly interested in joining the KBBG.

“We are absolutely delighted with our results from the show.  It was certainly the best UK kitchen and bathroom trade show for many years, with terrific footfall and a positive attitude from the retailers. We certainly, more than, exceeded our objectives.”
