Corporate member partners with Age UK

Corporate member The British Institute of Kitchen, Bedroom & Bathroom Installation (BiKBBI) has announced a partnership with Age UK Trading CIC (Community Interest Company).

The partnership will see BiKBBI assisting Age UK Trading CIC, a trading subsidiary of Age UK, the UK’s largest charity working with older people, with their mission to support the country’s older population to make the most out of later life, specifically within the bathroom environment.

BiKBBI will support Age UK Trading CIC, and their product partner Handicare  to develop their bathroom proposition, playing a key role in the independent accreditation of those installation businesses that serve the consumer.

BiKBBI CEO Damian Walters said: “It is clear that our joint goal should be the provision of product, services and an open and informative sales process that will help the older population to live full and happy lives within their own homes for as long as humanly possible.”

Speaking on behalf of Age UK Trading CIC, David Hales, Head of Affinity and Product Development, said: “BiKBBI provide an invaluable service to the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom industry, and are at the forefront of the drive to improve standards across the sector; a desire that we also share. BiKKBI can provide support and guidance in a wide variety of areas, from training and development to performance management, all with the aim of ensuring customers receive the very best service. We’re sure that this relationship can only benefit Age UK Easy Bathing customers, and underlines Age UK Trading CIC’s desire to provide a market leading service for people in later life.”

Damian is hoping to raise £100,000 for The Furniture Makers’ Company this year by attempting to climb Mount Everest.
