For the last 2 years, we have been invited to speak alongside Wickes at Grand Designs Live on the latest market trends, the future of design, and our product offer. Check out these great pictures taken earlier this month where our National Account Manager, Esther was a guest speaker on the Wickes panel along with AEG. The discussion was hosted by TV presenter Kunle Barker, who also hosts Love your home and garden… She even managed to get a quick picture with Kevin McCloud before going on stage! Esther Bowness has extensive experience in the kitchen and bathroom industry and throughout her career, she has demonstrated a commitment to excellence by working with products that prioritise both aesthetics and functionality. At Abode, Esther is key to ensuring the brand remains competitive and focused on the customer of today’s needs in a dynamic market. Well done to everyone involved, let's continue to spread the word so that every customer can enjoy water the way they want it! www.abodedesigns.co.uk #Abode #Pronteau #granddesignslive
