A Note from the Executive Director
As we pack away the scarves and jackets and welcome in the Spring, those of us in the kitchen and bathroom industry will know that the ‘Home Show Season’ is now well and truly upon us! KBDi are looking forward to another successful partnership with Grand Designs Live, and are busy taking bookings for the increasingly popular ‘Ask an Expert’ stands at the Melbourne and Sydney events. Find out more about ‘what’s on’ at the shows, and the great opportunity open to KBDi designer members in Grand Designs Live + KBDi.
You’ll be reminded about the upcoming KBDi Designers International Tour as well, as the countdown for departure gets well and truly underway. We’re really excited about this one – with an all new program (two incredible design fairs), we’re looking to ‘broaden our horizons’ in more ways than one, and are inviting members of other approved design organisations to join in the fun. (See KBDi Designers International Tour – Extended Invitation for more information.)
Business resources are something all in business or individuals working as a contractor value. And in this edition Designer Training Pty Ltd tell us about their very useful (and free to download) business resources and their upcoming business seminars, Resources to help your business – download for FREE. Also a reminder that the KBDi members’ training subsidy is now available for the kitchen and bathroom design course http://www.kbdi.org.au/news/
Finally, we ask you to look out for our newly formatted and exclusively-badged KBDi e-newsletter in the coming months. We’d like to thank our Media Partners, Universal Magazines the producers of great publications such as Kitchen and Bathroom Quarterly, for their continued and invaluable support of our organisation, and their commitment to taking our message to consumers. UM do a fantastic job keeping designers up to date and ‘on the same page’ as potential clients through their varied EMags, and we’re enthusiastic about bringing you our monthly ‘no-frills’ and to-the-point summary of industry news and trade information.
Enjoy the read!
