As it approaches its 20th anniversary, the British Institute of Kitchen, Bedroom and Bathroom Installation (BiKBBI) has announced it will be changing its name.
BiKBBI will be renamed to the British Institute of Fitted Interiors Specialists (BIFIS), which will take effect from October 1 2025, and the new logo, (pictured), will be rolled out over the coming months. A brand toolkit will be launched to allow stakeholders to prepare for the change.
CEO Damian Walters said: “The change of name is driven by several strategic factors including the important work we continue to develop within the Fitted Interiors Apprenticeship and our leading role within the Fitted Interiors Construction & RMI Super Sector review.”
The name change will follow the implementation of other changes to the institute’s proposition for key stakeholders, which the announcement said were “subtle but significant” following a period of extensive research.
Walters added: “I offer my thanks to all of those stakeholders that supported our research and review project.
“Whilst the name will change, the organisation will remain our industry’s institute and, therefore, the feedback received has been instrumental to the development of our proposition, ensuring that we continue to positively impact the industry.”
