Leading supplier of stainless steel kitchen sinks and taps, The 1810 Company, has announced they will be a platinum sponsor and exhibitor at the KBB Industry Conference 2025.
Held by the KBSA, the UK’s leading authority for independent kitchen, bathroom and bedroom retailers, the KBB Industry Conference is the ‘go to’ event for the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom trade.
With guest speakers, expert exhibitors and an exclusive retailer dinner, the event allows attendees to learn more about the industry and connect with kitchen, bathroom and bedroom professionals.
“We’re thrilled to be both sponsoring and exhibiting at the KBB Industry Conference this year. We’re looking forward to hearing some expert knowledge from guest speakers and connecting with industry professionals from across the UK at the retailer dinner and conference, as well as the honour of handing out an award” says Bernhard van Ommen, Managing Director of 1810.
The event includes an exclusive retailer dinner the evening before the conference, with guest speakers, industry debates and the much-anticipated KBSA Designer Awards 2025.
As a platinum sponsor and exhibitor, The 1810 Company will also be presenting the award for ‘Customer Service’.
“The KBSA Designer Awards showcase the very best designers in the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom industry. Exceptional customer service is very important to us, so I’m proud to be the one handing out the award for ‘Customer Service’, which recognises the businesses that go above and beyond for their customers. Good luck to all the finalists” adds Bernhard.
Established in 2009, 1810 is a UK-based supplier of premium stainless steel sinks, taps and accessories for the kitchen trade.
In 2022, the business was acquired by German manufacturer, SCHOCK, the inventor of the quartz composite sink. 1810 is now a SCHOCK Group company, supplying their range of CRISTADUR®, CRISTADUR® Green Line and CRISTALITE® kitchen sinks in the UK.
In addition to their sponsorship and award presentation, 1810 will be exhibiting at the event, with key members of their sales team present at the stand.
They invite attendees to visit them during this year’s KBB Industry Conference to discover the latest in stainless steel and quartz composite kitchen sinks.
“Come and chat to our Regional Sales Managers and wider sales team, where we’ll be showcasing our latest HEX, Zen10 Slim Bridge and SCHOCK CRISTADUR® sink products. It’s a fantastic opportunity to discover the premium quality, design and manufacturing behind our products. See you there” concludes Bernhard.
The conference will take place at the Belfry Hotel & Resort in Sutton Coldfield on 30th September to 1st October.
