Welcome to The kbbreview Podcast, your host is Andy Davies and this is Episode 5 of Season 14 – which means we’re officially halfway through the series.
This week we’re delving into a subject that, slowly but surely, is becoming more common – freelance KBB designers.
They’re not retailers in the classic definition of the word, they don’t have showrooms, but they will design kitchens or bathrooms for their clients – and those clients could be consumers, developers, interior design, architects or, indeed, time-poor KBB retailers.
So why go freelance? How does it work? Who are the customers and where do they find them? How do relationships with suppliers work? And with so many KBB retailers wishing they could charge for designs, how do they sell the service?
This is a really insightful conversation with three top designers already doing it – Darren Morgan, Alina Tacutanu and Anna Rock and if you run a showroom, you really need to hear their views.
A quick reminder that the kbbreview Retail & Design Awards are in the iconic Blackpool Tower Ballroom on Thursday, April 24 and we are officially 100% sold out. However, there is always a chance that with that many people some cancellations do happen, so, we are running a waiting list. As soon as a ticket becomes available, it will be offered to whoever is next in line on that list. It’s first come, first serve so go to kbbreview.com/awards and you’ll find out who to get in the queue. It’s always worth the call!
