The British Institute of Kitchen, Bedroom and Bathroom Installation is delighted to announce British component kitchen and bedroom manufacturer, Getley UK, as the latest KBB brand to become a corporate sponsor of the institute, pledging its support to the government-sanctioned organisation and its work on building a sustainable workforce and improving education, standards and compliance in the KBB installation sector.
Getley UK initially launched in 2006 as a bespoke kitchen dealer in Staffordshire and diversified to become a cabinet manufacturer in 2009 following challenges with suppliers due to the recession. Today, Getley UK prides itself on giving customers a wide range of bespoke products and service offerings which include bespoke kitchen, bedroom and bathroom cabinets, with a cabinet-only, complete and customer supplied offer.
Mark Getley, CEO at Getley UK said: “At Getley UK, we recognise that the future of our industry relies on investing in the next generation of skilled installers. By partnering with the British Institute of Kitchen, Bedroom, and Bathroom Installation, we are able to support critical training initiatives aimed at addressing the ageing workforce in the KBB sector. Ensuring a steady pipeline of skilled professionals is essential to meeting future installation demands. Training new installers will equip them with the business skills needed to succeed as entrepreneurs, many of whom may eventually run their own showrooms. This initiative is vital not only for the future of our business but also for the wider construction industry, and we are proud to support it.”
BiKBBI CEO, Damian Walters commented “Our work on education, standards, compliance and sustainability is fundamental to the future of the installation community that serves the KBB sector. It is vital that we collaborate with all areas of the industry, and we are delighted to welcome Getley UK on board as a corporate sponsor. Getley’s brand story and history demonstrates the success that relationships and collaboration can bring, and we are looking forward to working with the Getley UK on building a sustainable future for KBB installation.”
