KBB Birmingham 2020 – SFR Recruitment Solutions Experience

Mar 31, 2020 , , , , , , , by sfrrecruitment

Written by Beth Wilshaw-Rhead, Media Executive at SFR Recruitment Solutions

Earlier this month our team at SFR Recruitment Solutions attended the KBB Birmingham 2020 at the NEC (prior to changing circumstances). This was our first ever visit to the event so we had little knowledge as to what to expect! Walking into the event it was 1 – MASSIVE and 2 – Every set up was incredibly well designed as expected!

Walking around the NEC was like looking at a very well curated Pinterest board, after taking inspiration from many of the sets I came to the realisation that I would indeed need a mansion to fit the designs in.

From space savvy wardrobes to kitchen surfaces with sofas attached, this expo really did have something for everyone. Our team was very much in awe, the KBB featured many amazing new and interesting products. It was brilliant to speak to so many industry passionate professionals!

Now let’s see what the rest of the team had to say about it!

Connor – Recruitment Consultant

… “I thoroughly enjoyed our time at the KBB. It was a great opportunity to get hands on with a range of products. Whilst at the show it was very clear to see the international representations, meeting with manufacturers from all over Europe. The KBB is a fantastic way to discover more about the industry by meeting with new suppliers and learning of new products coming to market” … 

Alice – Recruitment Consultant

… “The KBB Birmingham event was the first time I’d been to such a huge design show. I gained so much knowledge of the products and exhibitors – the designers clearly worked for months to create their beautifully modern stands. Thank you to the lovely lady at Sugatsune who showed Beth and I the most incredibly sleek, sliding wardrobe. Unfortunately, me being me, I accidentally pulled a part of one of the exhibitors show pieces off their wall… oops! Luckily, they were very understanding and kind about it” …

Jamie Smith – Director

… “A great team bonding two day event. A fantastic range of well manufactured products, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I particularly enjoyed meeting and chatting with with people from the KBB industry and seeing their showcase high end products” …

Matthew Robinson – Director

… “Fantastic effort made by all businesses exhibiting and attending the KKB; design and innovation brought together. Under difficult circumstances everyone made a great effort to make it a terrific experience.

During the event our team had the opportunity to meet with clients and friends face to face. Thank you to the organisers. Stay safe everyone!” …

Overall SFR Recruitment Solutions experience at the KBB expo was a very positive one! We hope to attend one again in the future!
