1810/SCHOCK has confirmed its participation in three regional business development events organised by the Kitchen Bathroom Bedroom Specialists Association and Kitchen Bathroom Buying Group this autumn.
The events will take place in Solihull, Reading and Leeds, bringing together independent kitchen and bathroom retailers, business owners, managers and suppliers for professional development and networking.
Supporting independent kitchen retailers
As an established supplier to the independent kitchen sector, 1810/SCHOCK will support the events as part of its ongoing engagement with specialist retailers across the UK.
The programme will provide opportunities for businesses to exchange ideas, discuss industry challenges and develop relationships with suppliers and fellow retailers.
Both organisations aim to support independent businesses through industry collaboration, education and commercial development.
Strengthening kitchen industry relationships
Bernhard van Ommen, Managing Director at 1810/SCHOCK, said: “Independent kitchen retailers are an incredibly important part of our industry, and we believe strongly in supporting the businesses and organisations that help the sector thrive.
“These regional events are a great opportunity to come together, share ideas and strengthen relationships, so we’re delighted to be supporting the KBSA and KBBG across all three dates.
“For us, these events aren’t simply about showcasing products.
“They’re an opportunity to spend valuable time with independent retailers, understand what they need from their suppliers and demonstrate the support our team can provide.
“We’re looking forward to meeting both familiar and new faces throughout the roadshow.”
Product updates and business support
Attendees will have the opportunity to meet van Ommen and members of the 1810/SCHOCK Regional Sales Team during the events.
Representatives will be available to discuss developments across both brands, introduce product updates and explain how the company can support independent retail businesses.
The three regional meetings will provide opportunities for retailers to engage directly with suppliers while accessing business development activities closer to their locations.
1810/SCHOCK’s involvement reflects its continued focus on supporting independent kitchen specialists and maintaining relationships throughout the UK retail market.
