The British Institute of Fitted Interiors Specialists is proud to welcome seven new retailers to its growing network of partners – along with registering 76 new installation businesses – making March yet another record-breaking month for the organisation.

This achievement builds on an already strong start to the year and underscores the importance that the industry places in the work undertaken by BIFIS to improve standards and drive positive change in the fitted interiors installation sector. Kitchenlink, Retto Interiors, Regal Kitchens, Ken Beard & Son, Nest Interiors, Kitchen Culture (Cambridgeshire)  and Herbert Williams have all demonstrated their dedication to improving installation practices, promoting compliance, and supporting the ongoing development of a skilled and professional workforce within the sector by partnering with BIFIS.

Kitchenlink launched in 2024 and brings the showroom experience of purchasing a kitchen to the internet, designed to bridge the gap between online kitchen shopping and professional, reliable and local installation. Kitchenlink pairs online convenience with the expertise of vetted local installers who understand regional styles, building regulations, and supplier networks.

“March has been an exceptional month for the institute” said BIFIS Director of Strategic Partnerships, Malcolm Scott. “Securing seven new retail partnerships in such a short period is a testament to the strength of our proposition for retail businesses operating in the fitted interiors sector, and the commitment to standards and excellence from our partners – old and new.
