NATIONAL PRESS RELEASE
Release Date:
16/08/2019
Yvonne Orgill joins the BiKBBI Board
Respected industry leader and CEO of The Bathroom Manufactures Association (BMA) Yvonne
Orgill, pictured, has joined The British Institute of Kitchen, Bedroom & Bathroom Installation
(BiKBBI) as the latest member of their Advisory Board.
Yvonne, who departs her current role at the BMA later this year after a successful 13 years at
the helm, joins the BiKBBI board, which is set to further develop the relationship between the
two industry organisations.
Both the BiKBBI and BMA share values of raising standards, promoting educational opportunities
and increasing compliance within the respective areas of the KBB industry and both fully support
collaborative working strategies to benefit their members, the industry and those consumers
who engage members.
BiKBBI CEO Damian Walters said: “I cannot even begin to express how happy I am with Yvonne’s
board appointment. A respected, highly experienced, much loved and proven industry leader,
Yvonne, from the very beginning, has been a guiding light for BiKBBI. There aren’t many people
with experience of leading a successful trade association, so capturing Yvonne’s experience is
the footballing equivalent of a cup final thirty yard, top right screamer into the back of the net”!
Damian added: “Yvonne was one of the very first people I spoke to 15 years ago when we first
scoped the prospect of an institute for Installation. Since then, our relationship has become
stronger and stronger, primarily as both organisations share the same values.”
Yvonne added: “I am thrilled to have been approached to join the BIKBBI Board and one I look
forward to, I am a firm believer in strong partnerships that can come together with the same
objective. BiKBBI and BMA have the same vision, ‘compliant product installed correctly for the
benefit of the consumer’, a big ask that is not unachievable!”
Orgill, who has vast experience in Europe and is set to lead development of The Unified Water
Label, joins a growing board of advisors at BiKBBI, including Patron Stephen Metcalfe MP, former
Jewson Director Jon Thelwell and PWC financial graduate Karen Stanley. See who else is involved
