CEO of the BiKBBI Damian Walters commented: “Installation is a vital component of the KBB sector, and never more so than in the skills gap crisis that the industry is now operating in.

“The efforts of installers, installation managers and installation departments operating within the KBB sector are critical to the success of every business within the industry – manufacturers, distributors, designers and retailers – and therefore it’s incredibly important that the contributions and efforts of the installation arena of the industry are recognised and celebrated.”

He continued: “These Awards are only possible thanks to our Awards sponsors and those that support the programme by entering either themselves or someone else.

“It was great to see many businesses come together in recognition of KBB installation at the 2022 Awards, and to be joined on stage by many worthy companies.

“We hope to exceed the number of entries this year and to honour even more examples of excellence in our sector.”

The BiKBBI Awards is free to enter, and businesses and individuals can nominate themselves, their business, a colleague, business associate or a company that they work with via a dedicated online platform.

Winners of the BiKBBI Awards 2023 will be announced at a Gala Dinner and Awards Ceremony at the QEII Centre, Westminster on February 7, 2023.
