Taking place in Solihull, Reading and Leeds, the events will bring together independent KBB business owners, managers and suppliers for a programme of business development, education and networking.
As a longstanding supplier to the independent kitchen sector, 1810 is keen to support the initiative and the work of both the KBSA and KBBG in bringing the industry together and helping independent retailers develop their businesses.
Bernhard van Ommen, Managing Director at 1810/SCHOCK, said: “Independent kitchen retailers are an incredibly important part of our industry, and we believe strongly in supporting the businesses and organisations that help the sector thrive.
“These regional events are a great opportunity to come together, share ideas and strengthen relationships, so we’re delighted to be supporting the KBSA and KBBG across all three dates.”
Members attending the events are invited to visit 1810/SCHOCK, where they can meet Bernhard and members of the Regional Sales Team, discover what’s new across both brands and discuss the different 1810/SCHOCK can support their business.
“For us, these events aren’t simply about showcasing products,” Bernhard adds.
“They’re an opportunity to spend valuable time with independent retailers, understand what they need from their suppliers and demonstrate the support our team can provide.
“We’re looking forward to meeting both familiar and new faces throughout the roadshow.”
