That’s a wrap: kbb Birmingham 2020 ends on a high k
bb Birmingham 2020, the leading kitchen, bedroom and bathroom
design show took place from 1st to 4th March and saw a huge number of people pass through its doors, with two of the four days having a record number of visitors. The event featured the UK’s largest collection of KBB brands under one roof and offered more innovation and choice than ever before. Mark Gordon, Director kbb Birmingham commented: “We are delighted that kbb 2020 has delivered so positively for exhibitors and visitors in all areas. The exceptionally strong turnout of visitors throughout the four day show has reinforced our position as the KBB industry’s biggest forum in the UK and shown that it’s not only a place to do business, but is a vital source of inspiring new innovation and design in the KBB sector.”
These sentiments were echoed across the industry: Richard Hibbert, Kbsa National Chair, comments, “There was a really good buzz and atmosphere at this year’s KBB. The organisers and the industry pulled together for the ‘show to go on’ and it proved to be worthwhile. For independent retailers there was plenty to see, with lots of things that could be taken back to the showrooms and implemented straight away. This is in contrast to some European shows where many of the exhibits are prototypes or inspirational.” BMA Chief Executive Tom Reynolds said: “The
BMA has been a long-time supporter of kbb Birmingham and this year’s show did not disappoint. The footfall of the show was great with a positive atmosphere. The event is a key platform for our members and the industry as a whole – a place where they can see the latest products, make new connections and be inspired by fresh ideas.”
The vibrant show floor reflected key industry
design trends, such as personalisation and sustainability with a huge range of exciting innovations from the sector. Big industry names like Blum, Caple, Roca, Blanco, and Samsung returned to exhibit, whilst brands such as Zanussi, Bosch, NEFF, Siemens, Quooker, Alno, Marazzi – The Top, Florim, Falmec, Konigstone, Aqualla Bathrooms, LochAnna kitchens, Azzurra Bathrooms and Elfin kitchens made their kbb show debut. kbb Birmingham continues to go from strength
to strength and keeps its place as the industry leading event for the KBB sector. The show will return to the NEC from 6th-9th March 2022.
