Three major trade associations have pledged their support to kbbreview Expo 2009, London's established trade exhibition for the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom industry.

The Bathroom Manufacturers  Association (BMA) is endorsing the event, alongside the Kitchen, Bathroom, Bedroom Specialists Association (KBSA) and the Kitchens, Bathrooms and Bedrooms National Training Group (KBB NTG).

The show will be held at ExCeL London, from 10-12 May next year and is organised by kbbreview's parent company dmg world media.

"This support cements an already very strong relationship between our respective organisations and ensures that Expo will deliver maximum benefit for exhibitors," said event manager Mark Pearson. "As we continue to develop Expo's successful formula and further increase its value to exhibitors and visitors, the support of these respected associations gives added impetus to our ambitions for the show."

Support from these key associations will ensure extensive exposure for kbbreview Expo 2009 to a wide and diverse audience and each organisation will promote the show to members and the industry at large. They will also help to compile the event's seminar and workshop programmes, providing speakers, content and advice on key presentation topics.

"As a leading trade association we support kbbreview Expo, as we believe that trade exhibitions are important to the industry for a number of key reasons. Exhibitions such as this offer a platform for the launch of new products, provide networking opportunities and facilitate entry into new markets", said BMA chief executive Yvonne Orgill. "We have important messages to communicate and EXPO offers the ideal platform for this".

Full show details, including a programme of interactive events will be announced in the run-up to the EXPO and details can be found at www.kbbreviewexpo.com.
