"Businesses, in constantly-evolving industries such as ours, have to adapt and look for positives that can be turned into profit. This year, the conference will hear world-class speakers who will give us their views and ideas on the theme 'Creating opportunity out of change'."

Delegates from the bathroom and kitchen industry will be encouraged and inspired to expand their horizons beyond their four office walls and take a fresh look at how they do their work. New ideas and stretching boundaries are firmly fixed to the agenda.

The aim of the carefully constructed programme is to generate fresh thinking to embrace the quickly changing world of bathrooms and kitchens.

There will be opportunities for delegates to network, build bridges and exchange ideas during the informal refreshment breaks.

Conference 2017 will offer delegates a unique and quite remarkable opportunity to glean information that will enable them to develop their businesses and remain competitive in rapidly changing world markets.

The accompanying Charity Golf & Networking Event will take place on Monday 16th October 2017, and will be followed by the conference itself on Tuesday 17 October 2017.
