The event which will commence at 4pm will take place at the Barcelo Billesley Manor Hotel in Warwickshire on Tuesday 4th October. The 2011 kbbreview Kitchen Conference is on the following day at The Heritage Motor Centre Museum, which is around 30mins away by car, providing an ideal opportunity to attend both events.

KBSA retailers will benefit from a special rate for the networking dinner and overnight accommodation, if required, which will include free entry to this year’s Kitchen Conference. There is also a preferential conference rate for KBSA Corporate members.

KBSA CEO Graham Ball says: “We hope that the later start will allow members to attend without taking too much time away from their business. The speakers are Matt Thomas, from John Lewis who will be making a presentation about the customer experience, and Chris Hambly an internet and e-learning consultant will talk about the ‘digital/social media’ opportunity.

“The AGM is an important event in the KBSA calendar.  It is much more than simply dealing with new resolutions and the election of officers as we have the opportunity to present a comprehensive review of our activities and share our plans for the future whilst gaining direct feedback from members. The speakers will be followed by some high quality entertainment from Matthew Osborn, English comedian of the year 2009, making this networking opportunity a ‘not to be missed’ event.”
