The British Institute of Kitchen, Bedroom & Bathroom Installation (BiKBBI) and its Patron Stephen Metcalfe MP, have confirmed the organisation will host its Annual Conference & Awards at The Houses of Parliament in February 2022.

The event, which will be attended by over 150 VIP delegates, will be split into two parts with the first being its Annual Conference at the Parliamentary office at Portcullis House.

It will be followed by a formal reception and awards ceremony at The Houses of Parliament later that afternoon.

Guest speakers and a new format will see the organisation update stakeholders on its progress and plans for the forthcoming year, and a reception will recognise special achievements.

The Annual Conference will be used to launch its plans for KBB 2022, an expansion into the US and the acceleration of its Apprenticeship programme.

According to the BiKBBI, the kbb industry “must act quickly to avoid a dramatic shortfall in skilled installers over the coming decade“.

BiKBBI CEO Damian Walters said: “2021/22 marks our 15^th Anniversary – a remarkable milestone and another proud moment for me and the organisation.

“We are privileged to be in a position to hold our event at such a venue once again and I’m already looking forward to hosting what will be a remarkable occasion for our industry.”

He continued: “After what has been a challenging time for us all, this special event will mix the formalities of Conference, with some much-needed celebration.

“We have achieved so much over the last year, not by luck, but by sheer determination, focus and the support of our key stakeholders.

It’s our opportunity to share plans with this group, celebrate some phenomenal achievements and thank those who have made it possible. This will be an event to remember.”
