KBBG Enjoys Successful Kbb Show, At The NEC

The Kitchen Bathroom Buying Group (KBBG), part of the DER KREIS, enjoyed brisk and successful business over the four days of the Kbb Show at the NEC in Birmingham.

Bill Miller, KBBG’s managing director, was delighted with the group’s debut at the show and said: “Even the traditionally quiet periods of the show were encouragingly busy for us right up to the last hour. We signed up five new members, including the Somerset-based Chalon family kitchen business, which has five showrooms and manufactures award winning, bespoke traditional English kitchen furniture, plus dining rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms, studies and libraries.

“Additionally, new KBBG members signed purchase agreements with us, and many brand new sales leads were taken.”

The KBBG stand showcased one of the group’s own label furniture ranges, KuchenLuxx by Bauformat.  The range is one of many, and is unique, exclusively designed for KBBG members.

“It has been an excellent show for us, with a superb quality audience of independent kitchen specialists; it was great to experience such a very positive attitude among those attending.  It was well-worth doing and we certainly more than achieved our objectives,” concludes Bill.

For more information on the KBBG call Bill Miller, Managing Director on 07887 247 811 or email b.miller@derkries.co.uk or visit the website at www.kbbg.co.uk
