FOCUS | The kbbreview podcast
Season Three of the award-winning kbbreview Podcast has arrived, kicking off with some cracking interviews and insights. Here’s a round-up of everything you may have missed...
SEASON 3 EPISODE 1
The housing market and YouTube for retailers
We’re looking at what’s happening in mortgages and the property market with expert Iain Swatton from mortgage website Dashly. We also
meet top retailers Nathan Damarell of KF Kitchens in Plymouth (pictured) and Steve Root of Roots in Faversham to discuss how retailers are making their own videos to promote their expertise, skills and services and sticking them up on YouTube for the world to see.
SEASON 3 EPISODE 3
Hand-painted kitchens and the effect of Brexit
For all the advances in technology and manufacturing, one of the things that keeps the KBB industry so interesting is that there are still so many true
skilled artisans working in it. We meet someone who really encapsulates that – specialist painter Emma Culshaw Bell (pictured). We’ll also talk Brexit and whether, nearly six months on, its positive or negative effects have been felt with John Schofi eld from proudly British manufacturer JT.
BONUS SPONSORED EPISODE
Bathroom Brands CEO Stephen Ewer
We’ve teamed up with our good friends at Bathroom Brands to bring you this fascinating interview with CEO Stephen Ewer. He took over there a
year ago – just weeks after the fi rst lockdown came into effect. Since then, he’s successfully steered the company through the Covid crisis to the point where it’s now launching new ranges, implementing new strategies and pledging its commitment and its future to independent retailers.

28 SEASON 3 EPISODE 2
ProBuild360 and Right to Repair
We’ve got Michael Parinchy from retailer ProBuild360 in Birmingham – they’re currently celebrating three fi nalist nominations this year in their
fi rst go at entering the kbbreview Retail & Design Awards. Then we’re talking to the guy in charge of Electrolux in the UK, Luke Harding (pictured), about how business is for them at the moment and the new Right to Repair legislation coming in for many appliances this summer.
SEASON 3 EPISODE 4
Sheffi eld Sustainable kitchens
The long term issue of sustainability is a much harder problem to tackle even than a pandemic but one retailer is doing what it can to make sure
everything it does has as little environmental impact as possible - and its proving very appealing to clients too. We meet Rob Cole from Sheffi eld Sustainable KItchens to fi nd out just how he’s built a very successful business out of his own personal passion for the environment.
BONUS AWARDS EPISODE Pippa Paton
Pippa Paton, and her eponymous Cotswolds interior design company, is one of the most consistently success- ful designers in the history of the kbbreview Retail & Design Awards.
She has won three times and has been a fi nalist pretty much every year for as long as we can remember. She’s back in the mix again this year in two categories – Bathroom Designer over £25,000 and Kitchen Designer over £50,000 – so we thought we’d fi nd out just what makes her tick.
