MHK UK makes ‘successful’ debut appearance at InstallerSHOW 2025

MHK UK says it ‘successfully' showcased the benefits of partnership at this year's InstallerSHOW in Birmingham. Joined at the show by current members who have made the move from exclusively being an installation business to a KBB business, MHK used the show to lend its support to installers in their growth journey.

Based in the BiKBBI village, MHK offered a free ‘Advice Shop’ for installers for the duration of the show in which visitors could drop in to ask any business-related questions. In addition, MHK introduced its #kitchenfamily – a kitchen concept in cooperation with Bauformat – which is designed for those who are new to setting up a showroom. 

David Morris, sales director at MHK UK, said: "We have been observing for years how more installers are developing as entrepreneurs and opening their own kitchen studios. This boldness and evolution of the industry deserves our full encouragement. This is exactly what we were supporting together with Bauformat via #kitchenfamily and also our ‘Advice Shop’ at this year's InstallerSHOW: we are providing answers for a successful and secure start in the specialised kitchen retail sector – openly and individually.”

Tom Baldwin, founder of Signature Projects, who attended InstallerSHOW2025 said: “The Installer industry is experiencing a period of change. We are spending a lot of time talking about the skills shortage and lack of new apprenticeship which is of course very important. However, MHK’s focus on the entrepreneurial side of installation is very inspiring and I hope it will show potential new entrants into the industry what can be achieved when you aim high. Being an installer is not just about being “on the tools”, there is real scope to be a successful and profitable business owner if you have support across cashflow, business advice and access to suppliers. For me, membership has been invaluable, and other installers are now waking up to the benefits of a partner like MHK.”

The ‘Advice Shop’ offered trade visitors to the BiKBBI Village a direct line to the experts from MHK UK. The appointments at the fair stand were quickly booked and questions asked included business planning, how to prepare a cash-flow forecast and product advice.
