Out and About at kbb Birmingham

Last week, we were lucky enough to attend the kbb 2022 exhibition at the NEC in Birmingham. kbb Birmingham is the UK’s largest trade show for kitchen, bedroom and bathroom brands and is the best opportunity for independent KBB retailers to see what’s new and trending in the industry.

Two of our clients, InSinkErator® and KBBG, exhibited at the show. The InSinkErator® stand had a modern feel and beautifully showcased the brand’s range of specialist kitchen taps and food waste disposers. We assisted InSinkErator® with hosting a press reception to announce the launch of some new products alongside a live Q&A with InSinkErator® brand ambassador, Kelly Hoppen CBE. The reception was well-attended by trade and consumer journalists and it was great to hear Kelly speak about how her InSinkErator® products are an asset in her home.

The KBBG (Kitchen Bathroom Buying Group) stand was in partnership with Getley, who displayed its Alku kitchen, bedroom and living room furniture. The KBBG is a buying group for independent kitchen and bathroom retailers and members of the group benefit from a vast array of benefits including exclusive buying conditions from a broad range of suppliers. The stand was divided into four with two kitchens, a bedroom and a living area. KBBG used the stunning area to network with current and prospective members.

Aside from working with our clients at the show, we also took the chance to walk around the exhibition and see the other stands. The Acquabella and Ca’ Pietra stands particularly stood out to us. We loved how the Acquabella stand was designed as a ‘resort’, which created an inviting surrounding to showcase its products beautifully. The Ca’Pietra stand displayed colourful and pretty tiles, which left us wanting to renovate our bathrooms instantly! We also enjoyed the range of V+A Baths on display, the different coloured (and patterned!) freestanding baths really caught our eye in the exhibition hall.

It’s great to see that the dates are set for kbb Birmingham in 2024 (3-6 March)! We’re already looking forward to seeing how products and styles evolve over the next two years.
