Damian Walters, CEO of BiKBBI, said: “We were thrilled with the success of our first awards programme last year and it would have been very easy to use that as the measuring stick for future events but, as an organisation that continually strives for improvement, we wanted to make the 2023 campaign better, and it’s fair to say that that was accomplished across the board.
“We had more entries from more businesses, but more importantly for us, the quality of each and every entry was of such a high standard. It’s great to be able to track, recognise and reward the amazing talent working within our sector, and see the quality of work the KBB installation community is delivering day after day.”
