"We are delighted that Graham has accepted this position, he has demonstrated that he has the necessary skills and wealth of experience of the industry to build the KBSA, making it bigger and stronger," said Tony.

Graham launched a number of new initiatives and opportunities for members at the conference and said that the KBSA recognised that it had undergone a transitional period of change but that a strategy was now in place to move the Association forward.

He said: "The KBSA is the only trade association that represents the independent kbb retail sector in the UK and there has never been a more appropriate and exciting time for new members to join.

"We have reviewed all of our internal operations to improve services to members, substantially enhanced the benefits package and invested in a new brand and website.  Our priorities are clear for the future and the new services and initiatives that we have announced today are just the beginning.

A new package of support from NAPIT was unveiled by Chief Executive John Andrews.  This includes a dedicated technical support helpline to advise members on technical issues such as Part P of the Building Regulations, the new Electrical Wiring Regulations as well as other relevant areas.  NAPIT will also provide the KBSA with a political reporting service and a voice on a number of central government consultation working parties that affect the kbb industry.

The new web support company, Optima presented their plans for developing the KBSA website and opportunities for members to gain more leads and traffic to their own sites.

Renee Mascari, gave an update on the training activities of the KBB NTG and Stuart Carter from TrustMark outlined how KBSA members will benefit from the recently achieved TrustMark status.
