The first annual members’ meeting for the Kitchen Bathroom Buying Group (KBBG), the UK arm of DER KREIS buying group, was hosted this month by Nobilia.
While touring the showroom and production facility, KBBG members had an exclusive preview of the new Vivari furniture ranges, due to launch in forthcoming months. Members attending the meeting were also offered an exclusive Vivari display offer, as part of the group’s dedication to provide better margins and improved buying conditions to the independent kitchen specialist.
Bill Miller, managing director of KBBG said:
“It was a very successful first annual members’ meeting giving attendees the opportunity to meet and discuss their future needs. In addition, we presented the opportunity for KBBG members to see the buying group’s Vivari furniture range.
“The strong relationship with our European partners is there to support and give the UK retailer a great head start – all the ground work has been done. While sales growth with our suppliers is our focus for 2014, the proven European services and offers will strengthen the UK independents’ advantage and increase the members’ numbers.”
