Damian Walters commented “The BiKBBI Awards has become an important event in the KBB calendar – it’s vital to acknowledge, celebrate and reward the achievements of the installation workforce – often the unsung heroes of the fitted interiors sector. The BiKBBI Awards is also about raising standards and creating a pathway for future installers and installation businesses. It was great witness so many talented, hardworking individuals and businesses placed in the spotlight, cheered on by the businesses they serve. Once again, the support from the wider industry has been amazing, from nominations to sponsorship and attendance – each year the event grows which is a testament to the value of the KBB installation community”.
