Bill Miller, KBBG’s managing director, said: “We are eager to support the industry wherever we can. TKET provides valuable and accessible education to those looking to join the world of kitchen specialist retailing. The foundation degree course at Bucks New University is an exceptional start for the industry to be regarded as professional, career anddesign oriented.  There is no doubt that improving education for the industry will raise the bar for kitchen designers and the industry as a whole.”
