The kbbreview100 initiative | FOCUS The


Retailers from all over the UK have signed up to the kbbreview100 initiative – a unique collaboration that will shape and influence debate across the industry


O


ver the past few months we have been on the lookout for 100 passionate and proactive independents to join us for a unique collaboration to help build a stronger KBB retail community and strengthen our support to the industry.


By providing a diverse range of retail representatives with a platform on which they can share their views and opinions, KBB retailers across the UK will benefit from these wider perspectives.


Coinciding with our focus on the importance of strengthening relationships in the KBB industry, we are absolutely delighted to be able to introduce you to the full kbbreview100 squad this month.


Some will be familiar names – long-established retailers who have already earned a reputation as experts and authorities in the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom sectors. Many, however, will be new names to you – some that have recently opened but who share that passion and enthusiasm for the business and who will bring to the debate a fresh perspective and outlook. We made sure too that our kbbreview100 includes retailers from every corner of the UK, bringing a balanced perspective on important topics from around the regions. Moving forward, we will regularly feature comment and opinion from these retailers in a bid to get real insight into how retailers are feeling about, or coping with, a particular issue or development. With regular surveys and questionnaires, our intrepid panel of expert retailers will comment on the latest trends and issues that affect their businesses to ensure kbbreview remains the place to go for in-depth analysis.
