Graham Plumbers’ Merchant has become a British Institute of Kitchen, Bedroom & Bathroom Installation (BiKBBI) Standards Partner. By doing so, Graham states that it is now able to provide even greater support and promotion to its ‘Elite Bathroom Installers’
For plumbers, Graham’s Elite Installer Scheme is said to provide an opportunity to enhance their existing service offering and to promote their business via their local branch, as well as the Graham Bathroom Showroom website. Installers who sign up to the scheme also receive the backing of the company’s highly trained team of bathroom experts, have access to a range of supporting materials and benefit from a rewards programme.
Graham says it is able to offer Elite Installers competitive terms on the products in its showrooms, as well as quick and efficient delivery direct to site. As such, the merchant claims that signing up to the scheme “represents one of the best ways for those in the trade to grow their businesses in an effective manner and with the highest levels of support”.
Now in its third year, the Elite scheme has been enhanced by all Elite Installers becoming members of the BiKBBI, a government sanctioned, not-for-profit registered organisation, dedicated to improving standards within the industry. As a result of the partnership, plumbers looking to become part of the Elite Installer scheme, or those already on it, now require an active BiKBBI accreditation.
Membership comes with a number of benefits – including business, legal and welfare support – and helps to underline the credibility of Graham’s Elite Installers and also provides further promotion of their businesses through BiKBBI’s own channels.
Derek Charge, Bathroom & Showroom Marketing Manager at Graham commented: “This is a fantastic moment for the Elite Bathroom Installer Scheme and all of its existing and future members. For many years, the scheme has looked to promote the best elements of the plumbing industry, prioritising quality installations and product solutions. Now, with the BiKBBI’s support and backing, this intent is truly solidified and we will be able to ensure even greater levels of service to our customers. Likewise, we hope to help those quality tradespeople gain an important edge over more unscrupulous installers who harm the sector.”
Derek continued: “While Graham Showrooms will continue to offer the same great service to any installers who do not wish to become members of BiKBBi, they will no longer receive the added benefits or rewards associated with the Elite Installer Scheme.”
Damian Walters, CEO at the BiKBBI, also commented: “We have been working with the team at Graham to understand how best to support the business, its trade and domestic customers. I am delighted that we can work with the team at Graham to support their consumer proposition through independent accreditation of professional installers and providing their customers with an informed choice. BiKBBI is committed to supporting businesses to achieve high installation standards and I’m pleased that Graham has decided to work with us on this incredibly important subject.”
