Shout Outs

Chuck Bailey and Becky Montgomery
“We’d like to start by thanking you both for keeping after us until we agreed to join you at the annual conference in San Diego.

Becky and I have been in the Kitchen and Bath industry for over 50 years. We’ve worked on the national level for a kitchen and bath cabinet manufacturer, and it was our jobs to work with dealers throughout the country. We had our own manufacturing rep group for thirteen years, where we called on kitchen and bath dealers. We have attended the KBIS shows as attendees and as reps for display companies for more than 30 years. We currently own and operate our own kitchen and bath showroom offering complete turn-key remodeling.

I tell you all of this to tell you we have experience in the Kitchen and Bath industry.

Having said all that, we want you to know we gained more insight into the industry, products and opportunities during your conference than we have throughout all of our previous experiences. We met more people through your group we now call friends.

As a small business, we are always concerned with costs and I was initially afraid we would not get a return on our investment of membership. To my surprise, we will save more than the annual membership costs with one new vendor from your group. We came home from the conference with a new excitement about our company and the possibilities that lie ahead.

Thank you for not giving up on us and for putting together a real family of members.”

“The FEI Group National Conference provides an opportunity to bond as a team outside of the office environment, to really disconnect and collaborate with like-minded industry experts. In addition to the connections made, the education day breakouts we attend are always spot on and relevant; we each learn something valuable from those sessions.

The relationships we build and the collaboration opportunities are priceless. It’s about people helping people. We can’t wait for the next conference.”

“The quality and size of the individual FEI Group companies is impressive. This gives us leverage to enter other markets, such as multifamily, commercial/tenant improvements and decorative plumbing. The background and access to the back rooms of much larger operations is a very big plus in my book.”

“You did a great job putting the National Conference together. I know how much goes on behind the scenes and the amount of work that goes into the event in order to make it happen. You hit it out of the park!

I didn’t know what to expect when joining K&B Alliance. Meeting all the different vendors available to us was overwhelming. Speaking to my peers with such openness about business and getting different ideas was educational. I look forward to growing our business together and having a successful future.”
