About us
kbbreview is the most established business magazine for the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom retail industry and has been for 40 years. It is hugely respected as a major source of independent news, analysis, interviews, debate and product trends - in fact 84% of kbb retailers said they would choose it over any other magazine. kbbreview is a 100% individually requested controlled circulation magazine, mailed free to 15,000 registered readers. This means that not only do we know who every single one of those readers are but also that each meets the criteria necessary to receive the magazine. Likewise, each of them has personally requested to receive it - we don’t believe in sending it out to just anyone... We are very proud of our editorial which is impartial and independent from advertising sales. This policy means we are free to tackle difficult industry issues and debates, and this has reinforced the integrity of kbbreview and generated significant respect from our valued readers.

Another GREAT episode of The kbbreview Podcast and a fascinating interview with kitchen designer Adam Thomas. If you’re a KBB designer or manufacturer then this is essential listening… All the links in the post below.
Early birds! Are you on a run? Walking the dog? Disposing of some evidence? The latest episode of The kbbreview Podcast has just dropped and you can be the first to hear it! It's a cracking interview to as we reveal the first episode of a special three-part series we're calling 'Changemakers'. It's all in association with our very good friends at Hettich UK and together we're meeting people or companies that are truly forging their own path in the UK kitchen and bathroom sector. They're shaping opinions, trends and business practices in a way that genuinely shifts the industry zeitgeist. And my co-host for this series is Hettich UK managing director Simeon Gabriel. Our first Changemaker is a real pioneer in the field of accessible and multi-generational kitchen design - Adam Thomas. A wheelchair-user himself, he has a unique understanding of how kitchens can and should be designed to allow full use by everyone of any ability, age, size or shape. He is also very inspirational when it comes to explaining just what a business opportunity this is for retailers and designers. It's all here in a very special interview that you won't want to miss...
