The British Institute of Kitchen, Bedroom & Bathroom Installation (BiKBBI) has joined forces with furniture fittings manufacturer Blum UK to launch Funding the Future of Installation initiative.

Recognising the importance of growing the industry’s professional, compliant and reliable KBB installation workforce, Blum sponsorship will pay for 50 new installer members to join the BiKBBI.

Blum UK’s technical manager, Matthew Glanfield commented: “As a corporate sponsor of BiKBBI, we are fully supportive of the work that the institute does in both striving to improve the installation sector and being the conduit between installers and the manufacturers, distributors and retailers that are reliant on them.

“Blum’s history demonstrates the importance we place in education and standards, and Funding the Future of Installation provides the perfect vehicle for us to make a real difference and support the need for professional, compliant and educated installers in a tangible way”.

Launching at InstallerSHOW 24, visitors to the BiKBBI stand (4B19) will have their  badge scanned to be considered for the Funding the Future of Installation programme. 

BiKBBI CEO Damian Walters commented: “Funding the Future of Installation is a ground-breaking approach to growing and strengthening a compliant KBB installation workforce – the vital community of tradespeople that serve all areas of the industry.

“Never before has there been a scheme that enables those businesses reliant on the installation sector to directly impact the number of registered, professional and compliant installers operating in the KBB industry in this way, and to be doing so in partnership with such an established and well-respected brand as Blum UK is significant in our organisation’s history.”
