The Kitchen, Bedroom, and Bathroom (KBB) Birmingham Innovation Awards are renowned for recognising and celebrating outstanding advancements in design, technology, and innovation within the realm of the industry. The Judges’ Choice Award, in particular, is a testament to the exceptional creativity, ingenuity, and practicality demonstrated by Space-Plug Evolution.

Space-Plug Evolution, a revolutionary product conceptualised, developed and patented by Cliff Petit, has redefined and revolutionised how kitchen base cabinetry is manufactured and installed. Evolution has proved to be the most radical positive change to happen to base kitchen cabinetry manufacturing in maybe 50 years. Space-Plug, having already won a FIRA award for its innovative original invention, the Adjustable Spacer Fixing, has major players in the industry taking orders to adopt or sell Space-Plug Evolution.

We have the missing piece of the puzzle, the industry has been seeking and the response we have had at the exhibition has been startling!
