At a time when circumstances have compelled most businesses to find nontraditional, creative ways to survive, kitchen and bath firms have proven their adaptability, handling social distancing, supplier interruptions and reduced client income and not only surviving, but thriving. This resilience is due largely to individuals at the vanguard of the industry, those who have implemented pioneering business management strategies and technological solutions, as well as those who have embraced the evolving roles of the kitchen and bath as wellness-centered spaces in a work-from-home world.
These innovators have ensured not only the survival and longevity of the kitchen and bath industry, but also that the industry will continue to be dynamic and future-focused. They have fostered a sense of community among other industry professionals both in-person and online and have extended a hand to the next generation of professionals.
With that in mind, Kitchen & Bath Design News presents its fourth annual class of Innovators, honoring professionals who are leading the charge into the future.
