The Kbsa has been evolving and is developing a range of services that will support retailers and help them make the most of their position in the market place.

Classic Interiors director Maxwell Davies said: “We are proud to become members of the Kbsa and fully support their recent changes and future plans. We had a great meeting with Uwe Hanneck and embrace their strategy to ‘futureproof’ the Kbsa to best support independent retailers. We pride ourselves on offering excellent service and the standards promoted by the Kbsa will further endorse our values to our customers.”
Phil Edgell from Regal Kitchens said: “Our business ethos is based around - Where Client is King - and we aim to prove this before, during and after we are commissioned on projects. Joining the Kbsa is a natural fit and will give our potential customers the confidence to trust us with their projects.”
