Following the launch of its Accredited Installation Methods (AiM) certification scheme, the British Institute of Kitchen, Bedroom and Bathroom Installation (BiKBBI) has announced the appointment of its first assessor.
Experienced KBB specialist, Paul Everitt, has been appointed as AiM’s primary assessor and will be responsible for delivering and establishing the assessments and developing the scheme as it navigates its initial phases.
Everitt’s background includes holding senior roles for multiple national, regional, and independent KBB retailers, within both a sales and installation capacity.
In recent years, Everitt has developed a reputation delivering an independent inspection service to clients including BiKBBI, retailers, and other relevant associations. He will also remain an independent consultant as he takes on the AiM assessor role.
BiKBBI’s director of operations, Chris Gliddon, who will work alongside Everitt commented: “We are delighted to welcome Paul Everitt as our inaugural assessor – his experience, diplomacy and nurturing personality will undoubtedly add enormous value to the development of AiM.
“We know that those businesses Paul assesses as part of AiM will benefit from his input and experience whilst supporting our wider institute objectives.”
Everitt added: “I have been working with the BiKBBI team for many years now and I’m honoured that I can play such a pivotal role in the scheme’s development.
“I’m excited about the potential of AiM because I know that its core principles will make a difference and will contribute significantly to the raising of KBB installation standards.”
