Joining the KBB Podcast Panel

Each week the KBB Podcast brings together leading voices from across the kitchens and bathrooms industry to explore the challenges, trends, and shifts shaping the sector.

In this episode, the panel discusses the competition between large national retailers and independent specialists, exploring how pricing, customer expectations and service influence purchasing decisions.

Steph Warner, founder of Pier1 Bathrooms, joins the discussion alongside industry peers to share insight from a design-led, luxury bathroom perspective.

The conversation explores why customers choose larger retailers over independent showrooms and how smaller businesses can better communicate the value of their specialist knowledge, personalised service and design expertise.
