kbb Birmingham, Expotile and HPE 2008 took place 2-5 March 2008 and proved yet again that its the largest showcase of kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, tiling and heating & plumbing solutions in the UK.

The 2008 show saw the events stand alone at the NEC in their new March timeslot and also introduce HPE to the market and the exhibitors and visitors agreed that it was a huge success.

Highlights included:

• Over 400 companies showcasing their solutions
• Conference sessions hosted by BMA, KBSA and NTG covering the latest issues facing this market
• The Kitchen Gallery in Hall 17 showcasing high-end kitchen furniture from leading suppliers and manufacturers
• Demonstrations by Aldo Zilli on the Caple stand
• A lucky visitor winning a Porsche Boxster courtesy of Sylmar
• Entrances sponsored by Bristan, Geberit, Poggenpohl and The Great British Tile Company
• Inspirationally themed bars and cafes throughout the halls

The *ABC figures for kbb Birmingham have been released, showing 19,150 people attended the event, which was an increase on 2006’s attendance. Despite challenging market conditions and moving the date from January to March, the show was a huge success.

Here's what exhibitors thought of the 2008 show: 

Teresa Turner, Director of Articad comments: The Monday of KBB Birmingham was the best single day for our company at any show we had ever done, anywhere in the world.
 
Stuart Frost, Product Marketing Manager, MAYTAG UK comments: Wow, what a fantastic show! The facilities were all in close proximity and well positioned. The stand was always busy and generated many enquiries which we are  now qualifying. A great show.
 
Mark Scott, General Manager, STEEL Cuisine comments: I thought it was a great show case to launch my product to the UK market.  I was very impressed with the quality of the trade visitors and based on the success of this show we are going to book for the next one!
