KBB event and exhibition expert Andy Bishop has died, leaving colleagues and industry contacts stunned.
For the last two years, Bishop had been the content consultant for the kitchen and bathroom section of InstallerSHOW and had previously worked for several years in a similar role at the KBB Birmingham exhibition.
He was, as a result, a familiar face at industry events and conferences.
In a statement, InstallerSHOW organisers said: “It is with great sadness that we share the passing of our dear colleague and friend, Andy Bishop. Andy was truly one of a kind – full of life, fun, and passion in everything he did. His energy and dedication brought warmth and positivity to every day.
“Andy worked on InstallerSHOW’s kitchen content for the last two years, successfully leading this growing section of the event with creativity and a zest for life. We know how loved and respected he was by everyone who worked with him, who appreciated both his expertise and humour.
“Andy will be deeply missed, both professionally and personally, by all who had the privilege to know him. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and all who worked alongside him over the years.”
