The day of the KBB sector’s biggest awards celebration has finally arrived as retailers, designers, manufacturers, and industry suppliers descend on Blackpool.
Tonight’s gala black tie event will be held in the iconic Tower Ballroom in Blackpool. As well as crowning the winners, the event also sees the industry’s biggest networking and socialising opportunity of the year with industry leaders and influencers gathering to celebrate the best retailers and designers in the country.
Below is the shortlist of finalists, which was first announced on a special bonus episode of The kbbreview Podcast, thanks to our podcast partner Sonas Bathrooms.
On the night we also give out our Special Achievement Award to an individual/s who has/have made an inspiring contribution to the industry, that is kindly sponsored by Hansgrohe.
The whole evening kicks off with our big welcome reception, sponsored by Hettich, and then before the actual ceremony kicks off we have our big Grand Prize Giveaway where someone in the room will win an amazing £5,000. That’s all courtesy of our very generous Grand Prize partner Schluter Systems.
The event itself is certified as carbon neutral – that’s incredibly important to us to set that example – and we are able to do that with the generous support of our Sustainability Partners Rehome (UKE) and ASKO.
You can follow all the extensive coverage of the night via our socials courtesy of our Social Media Partner Geberit – just find #kbbawards2025 and join in.
And a special thank you to our 2025 Event Partners Blanco, Carysil UK, Cyncly, Frontline, Installer Show 2025, and Neolith for all their support too.
