Villeroy & Boch and Ideal Standard welcomed customers and industry partners to our Clerkenwell showroom for an Oktoberfest-inspired evening of networking, entertainment and German hospitality.
Organised in partnership with bathroom and washroom merchant Neville Lumb, the event attracted around 100 people from a broad cross-section of the industry, including architects and designers, housebuilders, developers, main contractors and mechanical and electrical contractors.
The guest list included 29 members of the architecture and design community and nine developers and housebuilders, alongside more than 40 further developers and contractors invited through Neville Lumb.
With traditional German-inspired food and drink, entertainment and plenty of opportunities to catch up with industry contacts, the evening provided an informal setting for strengthening existing relationships and making new connections.
Mike Klodzinski, National Account Manager – Trade, said: “The event was a major success. We welcomed a full cross-section of the industry, from manufacturers and merchants through to architects and designers, developers and contractors, across both residential and non-residential sectors.
“I really don’t think I’ve been to an event which has brought together such a complete circle of customers.
“It’s a great credit to both businesses to have pulled together such a diverse group.”
The event also highlighted our growing partnership with Neville Lumb, with the strong turnout and engagement providing a positive foundation for further collaboration and opportunities.
