The inaugural ek&bbusiness awards were held at The Brewery in Central London in December and at last, an awards organiser has recognised installation as a fundamental piece of the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom industry jig-saw. Subsequently, over 500 people attending the gala event witnessed the announcement that BiKBBI member The K Team, had scooped the Exceptional Installer of the Year award, sponsored by ALNO UK. In their absence, the award was collected on their behalf by BiKBBI Chief Executive Officer Damian Walters who commented afterwards, “Congratulations to The K Team, it’s a great business and is a very deserving winner, but to be fair, we have many members that could be in contention for this accolade so I hope others follow in their footsteps and enter in the years ahead.” Damian added, “A big ‘UP’ for the organisers ek&bbusiness magazine for recognising our sector by including this award in their event. I have to say that Darren and his excellent team at the magazine have always been most supportive to the institute.”
