This year's Big Tour will take place at 5 venues around the UK and the KBSA will be present at all venues and holding regional meetings during the day. We will be taking the opportunity to meet with members and discuss in detail the wide range of money saving benefits and the market leading insurance package that the KBSA offers.

We will also be using the events for recruiting new members, with consumer protection still very much at the top of buyers' minds.

KBSA CE Graham Ball says: "We are delighted to have this opportunity to meet with members at what promises to be another busy event.

"Trading conditions remain tough and it is even more important that specialist retailers are aware of the substantial benefits they can gain from KBSA membership. No other organisation exists that provides so much relevant support. As well as being able to explain the details of the new 100% insurance cover, we will be updating members on a number of new corporate initiatives that will allow retail and corporate members to work more closely together.

As an example, a member taking up the preferential offer from Barclaycard can easily save more than it costs to join the KBSA, and our business insurance packages offer even more savings.

"We remain committed to supporting our members with a package of benefits that can make a real difference to their business success."
