"We are absolutely delighted that both retailer and corporate members made clear their commitment to the KBSA by returning proxy votes and attending the meeting," said newly elected national chair, Michael Ashton of Boulevard Kitchens.

"Not only did they find the time to vote but they accepted all of the resolutions with overwhelming support so that we can proceed with our exciting plans for the future.

"We have already begun the legal work required to update the restrictive Memorandum & Articles of Association and CEO Graham Ball outlined the important member initiatives that we have in hand that will improve our service and increase benefits for members."
