The Bathroom Association has confirmed that Pimberly, the UK provider of cloud-based Product Information Management (PIM) and Digital Asset Management (DAM) solutions, will be a Platinum Sponsor of Connect Conference, taking place on Thursday, 8 October at The Grand Hotel, Birmingham.
The Platinum partnership builds on Pimberly’s Gold Sponsorship in 2025, reflecting the company’s ongoing commitment to supporting the bathroom manufacturing sector and the Association’s annual programme of insight, connection and collaboration.
The Connect Conference is the Association’s flagship industry gathering, bringing together manufacturers, the wider supply chain and partners for a day of keynote talks, discussion and dedicated networking, followed by an exclusive gala dinner.
With the 2026 theme set to ‘Stronger Together’, the conference will focus on practical, forward-looking collaboration across policy, standards, skills, innovation, and meeting customer needs, and on how supply chain alignment strengthens the category as a whole.
Amy Kirk, marketing and events director at the Bathroom Association, said: “Pimberly’s continued support of Connect Conference is hugely valued. Moving from Gold Sponsor in 2025 to Platinum Sponsor this year is a strong statement of commitment to our sector. Connect Conference is about bringing people together to share insight, strengthen capability and build confidence across the supply chain, and Pimberly’s sponsorship helps us deliver an event that’s practical, relevant and focused on what the industry needs next.”
Josh Bradley, VP marketing at Pimberly, said: “We’re delighted to be Platinum Sponsors of the Connect Conference on 8 October. The bathroom sector continues to be a strong area of growth for Pimberly, and we’re proud to support industry-leading bathrooms brands with the tools they need to deliver efficiency in their routes to market. As product data becomes central to omni-channel success, from digital platforms and in-store experiences to printed catalogues and sales enablement, we’re excited to keep working alongside the Association and its members.”
Pimberly is an affiliate member of the Bathroom Association and supports bathroom brands including Abode, VADO, PJH Group, Ideal Bathrooms and Aqualisa. Founded in Manchester in 2016, the company has grown rapidly, helping manufacturers, retailers and distributors streamline product data and strengthen digital product storytelling across all channels.
Following the Connect Conference daytime programme, delegates will come together for the gala dinner, with the charity raffle and auction also returning, alongside the much-loved 30-Under-30 Awards, celebrating emerging talent across the bathroom sector.
