MHK Group, a full-service association for medium-sized independent KBB retailers, has announced a return to KBB Birmingham, 3-6 March 2024.

MHK’s interactive stand will explore the theme of “Making the Difference”, showcasing the extraordinary benefits of MHK membership for independent kitchen retailers and its 40 years of expertise as Europe’s leading buying group in home and living. Open and accessible from three sides, the dynamic stand will offer a comfortable space to learn more about member benefits. This includes innovative products and services from its 17 owned service companies, including its in house kitchen brand Xeno, that support retailers on their way to a successful future – from opening a kitchen retail shop to supporting retailers in expanding their business.

David Morris, UK Sales Manager for MHK UK says: “We are delighted to say we will be back at KBB 2024 to join forces with the rest of the industry as we asses and navigate through the current climate together. Despite the wider context of the UK economy, 2023 has enjoyed some successful moments. At MHK, we welcomed new supplier and retailer members, paid out record bonuses, hosted 3,500 European partners at our AGM, and supported more startups than any of our previous five years in the UK.”

MHK UK, which officially launched in January 2018, celebrated five years in the UK in 2023 and has grown exponentially during this time as awareness of the outstanding benefits of membership has become wider spread.

David Moris continues: “Steady, strategic growth by bringing our win-win business formula to premium independent retailers was always our five-year plan for the UK market. As we look ahead to the next 5 years, KBB Birmingham remains instrumental in communicating the unparalleled benefits of membership. The economy is still fragile, which is why it is all the more important for retailers to be competitive and profitable. We encourage any curious retailers – and suppliers – to meet with us at the show to learn more about how we make the difference. Not just from us at MHK, but from their peers who have become more profitable as a result.”

Amongst other benefits that retailers will learn more about at KBB 2024, MHK’s Central Payment System is unique and only available to its members. This system streamlines the payment process for both retail and supplier members, improving retailers’ cash-flow with open ended credit facilities, with payment 30 days after the delivery of products, minimising credit risks for suppliers in the process. Lower risk means lower prices for MHK members.

For premium retailers who are serious about growing their business, membership can help transform their business in so many ways. Visit MHK on stand P84.
