Owain Harrison, MD, KBBG, said: “We are extremely excited and proud to bring together some of the most experienced and forward-thinking individuals in our industry to form the new KBBG advisory board. Our aim is to ensure that our strategic direction continues to reflect the real-world needs of independent KBB retailers. Their input will be invaluable as we evolve and grow stronger together.”

The new advisory board first gathered, as a group, at the KBBG Annual Members’ Meeting on 30th June 2025 and have planned their first meeting to discuss KBBG’s plans for the remainder of the year and begin to shape ideas for 2026.
