Graham Ball retires from KBSA

Graham Ball, the CEO of Kitchen Bathroom Bedroom Specialists Association – KBSA – has announced his retirement with immediate effect, due to “unforeseen family reasons” following a seven-year stint at KBSA.

“It is with great sadness that we announce Graham's retirement, but I would like to take this opportunity of thanking Graham for all his hard work and tenacity,” said KBSA national chair Tina Riley. “During his role as CEO, he has steered the association through what has been a difficult time within the industry.

“Myself and the rest of the board will continue to work with the KBSA team, [with] Ruth Ward and Dawn Harlow to move the KBSA forward after our recent re-brand and new website launch,” she added. “We wish Graham and his family all the best.”

KBSA's corporate chairman for suppliers, Malcolm Scott, added; “I have enjoyed working with Graham for many years during his career as sales director at De Dietrich and then as commercial director at Hotpoint, before taking on the role of CEO at the KBSA.

“Graham has made an invaluable contribution to the association leaving it in a much stronger position than when he joined,” he added. “Our thoughts are with him. And as ever thank you to our corporate members for their support.”
