The Institute of Kitchen, Bedroom & Bathroom Installers (iKBBI) has joined The Furniture Makers Company as a corporate member, joining brands including iKBBI installation partners B&Q and John Lewis, as well as sponsor Blum.

iKBBI CEO Damian Walters, who attended the admissions ceremony in central London earlier this month on behalf of the organisation, says: “We have been supporting the charity with several initiatives already, but are pleased to make the company our official charity moving forward. Their commitment to education, especially with their tireless efforts working on educational programmes for schoolchildren and students, as well as their sterling work on recognising quality standards, are close to our own.”

The iKBBI and The Furniture Makers Company will work together with other key parties to develop a nationally available apprenticeship for kitchen, bedroom and bathroom installation and CPD opportunities for time-served installers.
