Welcome to The kbbreview Podcast, the show totally dedicated to the world of independent kitchen and bathroom retail.

Your host as always is kbbreview editor Andrew Davies and we're back with a brand new season.

In this episode we're catching up on business so far in 2026 with our regular team of retailers - we're over halfway through April so how has the year been so far, where have the pinch points been, what are the positives, how are consumers behaving, is it all Donaldl Trump's fault, how are retailers adapting and how confident do they actually feel about the rest of the year?

Waiting in the wings is our retailers Nick Warrington, Liz Pantling-Jones and Trevor Scott. BUT we also have a new recruit, very sadly Justine has had to leave the band as a regular member *although we will get her back for occasional guest appearances), so we have a new bathroom retailer - Steph Warner from Pier 1 Bathrooms in Hove.

So if you want a snapshot of where independent kitchen and bathroom retail is right now, this is the episode for you.
