Bathroom Manufacturers Association to host workshops at B+K Expo

(13/02/2007)

The Bathroom Manufacturers Association (BMA) is to host a series of four workshops and seminars for Industry professionals at this year’s Bathroom and Kitchen Expo, Excel, in London from 13 through 15 May.

Delivered by industry experts, the first in the BMA series of workshops will take place on Sunday 13 May at 1.45pm covering the growing importance of ‘Inclusive Design’. This workshop will offer advice on how best to capitalise on this growing, lucrative market given that by 2020 approximately 40 per cent of the UK population will be over 50 and suffering from age-related ailments such as arthritis and limited mobility.

On Monday 14 May, the BMA will host a workshop and a seminar. A Training Workshop will take place at 11.30am to demonstrate the importance of a professional, qualified workforce and proving how ‘getting it right first time’ can improve efficiency, boost sales and increase profit, while at 1.30pm leading experts will deliver a seminar on ‘wet rooms’ honing in on future design and trend predictions.

The last in the BMA series of workshops will take place on Tuesday 15 May at 2pm and will cover the highly relevant issues of water efficiency, helping delegates understand the complexities of Government regulations and explaining how to best capitalise on the rapidly emerging market for water efficient bathroom products.

Yvonne Orgill, chief executive of the BMA commented: “We are very much looking forward to participating in Bathroom and Kitchen Expo. These events are highlights in the Industry’s calendar offering a perfect opportunity to see new products, gain additional knowledge and network. This year’s Bathroom and Kitchen Expo promises to be a wonderful event with a strong presence from the BMA and BMA member companies.”
