The British Institute of Kitchen, Bedroom & Bathroom Installation has announced MHK UK as its latest corporate sponsor of 2023, supporting the government-sanctioned organisation and its work on building a sustainable workforce and improving education, standards, and compliance in the KBB installation sector.
MHK UK is a company of the MHK Group, the full-service association for medium-sized specialist trade and craft companies. The group is also a specialist in the sanitary, heating, and air-conditioning sectors, as well as supplying medium-sized businesses in the painting and building trades.
Marcel Crezee, director export MHK Group and managing director MHK UK commented ‘The MHK Group recognises the importance of installations and the role that this area of the sector plays in the success of our business. As MHK UK continues to grow its network of independent KBB retailers, it’s important that we support the installations sector and work alongside BiKBBI to help solve the skills shortage, improve education and training, and ultimately build a sustainable workforce that all KBB businesses will benefit from.’
BiKBBI CEO, Damian Walters said ‘BiKBBI’s network of corporate sponsors continues to grow and 2023 has seen a record number of manufacturer, supplier and distributor brands committing to support the vital work we are doing to drive positive change in the sector. To welcome MHK UK onboard as a corporate sponsor is significant not only for us as an organisation but because it is a testament to just how important the installation workforce is the whole KBB industry. The work that the MHK Group does via their academy facility in Germany is a leading example of how the UK should be approaching education and training and we are very excited at the prospect of working with MHK UK the development of our plans on education.’
