As it approaches its 20th Anniversary, the British Institute of Kitchen, Bedroom, and Bathroom Installation (BiKBBI) today announced that it will be changing its name—an evolutionary move that aligns with a number of exciting strategic initiatives planned for the Government-sanctioned organisation.
BiKBBI will be renamed The British Institute of Fitted Interiors Specialists (BIFIS), effective 1 October 2025. The new logo (pictured) will be rolled out over the coming months. A brand toolkit will be launched to allow stakeholders to prepare for the change.
CEO Damian Walters said: “The change of name is driven by several strategic factors, including the important work we continue to develop within the Fitted Interiors Apprenticeship and our leading role within the Fitted Interiors Construction & RMI Super Sector review.”
The name change will follow the implementation of some subtle but significant changes to the institute’s proposition for key stakeholders, following a period of extensive research.
Walters continued, “I offer my thanks to all of those stakeholders who supported our research and review project. Whilst the name will change, the organisation will remain our industry’s institute, and, therefore, the feedback received has been instrumental to the development of our proposition, ensuring that we continue to positively impact the industry.”
The institute’s name change to BIFIS will enable it to build upon almost two decades of impressive industry reputation and support ongoing ambitions, including increasing consumer awareness.
