KBBG Exhibiting at InstallerSHOW 2024

The Kitchen Bathroom Buying Group (KBBG) is exhibiting on stand 4A23 at InstallerSHOW, forming part of the brand new Installer Kitchens & Bathrooms sector of the exhibition.

Over the three day exhibition, KBBG (part of DER KREIS, Europe’s leading kitchen and bathroom buying group) will be sharing information on what the buying group offers and how it can benefit independent kitchen and bathroom specialists. This includes:

  • Improved margins through exclusive buying conditions and annual bonus payments from a range of leading kitchen and bathroom suppliers
  • Business advice and support based on over 40 years of industry experience, helping members achieve their business goals
  • Access to a growing number of leading kitchen and bathroom brands
  • Unique private label kitchen furniture ranges made by some of Europe’s leading manufacturers, only available to KBBG members
  • Exclusive members-only promotions and offers
  • A listing on mykitchenspecialist.co.uk, a unique consumer facing lead generation website promoting independent kitchen retailers
  • A voice in the market
  • Preferential rates from service providers such as Compusoft, Lead Wolf and Rehome from the Used Kitchen Exchange
  • An invitation to attend the Annual Members’ Meeting
  • UK based administration support

One of the main highlights of the KBBG stand at InstallerSHOW will be mykitchenspecialist.co.uk. The aim of mykitchenspecialist.co.uk is to bring KBBG members together to form the UK’s leading network of independent kitchen specialists, to help consumers who are planning a kitchen renovation.

The website is designed to encourage consumers to shop locally for their new kitchen, with a tool to help them find their nearest kitchen specialist. Consumers can then make direct enquires with their chosen independent retailer, which brings another avenue for KBBG members to achieve new sales enquiries. Visitors to stand 4A23 at InstallerSHOW will be able to find out more about the mykitchenspecialist.co.uk network and how it can result in new business leads.

Bill Miller, Managing Director, KBBG, says: “For over 44 years, DER KREIS has been dedicated to supporting independent kitchen and bathroom retailers. We launched KBBG (the UK division of DER KREIS) over 10 years ago and we were the first independent buying group for the UK KBB industry.

“The objective of the KBBG is very simple: to create a strong and sustainable independent channel, enabling our members to achieve their full business potential. Being part of InstallerSHOW, in the brand new Kitchens & Bathrooms sector of the exhibition, is a great opportunity to spread the word about our buying group and the work we do to support the KBB industry. We’re very much looking forward to the exhibition.”
