This collaborative partnership with research specialist JKMR enables us to provide an even more comprehensive service to the UK kitchen and bathroom industry.
By combining our expertise in consumer and B2B data, and developing new projects, our partnership will enable clients to access the widest range of kitchen and bathroom industry specific data.
JKMR is the UK’s only business-to-business research company specialising in the fitted kitchen product industries, offering in-depth analysis of the market including reports that focus on individual product areas, as well as its renowned annual Overview of the UK Fitted Kitchen Market.
With JKMR’s multi-client reports now available alongside Trend-Monitor reports to purchase and download directly from the Trend-Monitor website, clients will have access to a ‘one stop shop’ for industry research.
“JKMR is an enormously well-respected industry analyst with lengthy experience in researching the kitchen market,” said Jane Blakeborough, Trend-Monitor’s research director.
“Being able to include their business data alongside our consumer data will be of huge benefit to the industry. We’re also looking forward to working together on a much-requested bathroom market data report, which we have been discussing with a number of bathroom brands. This new report will be available later this year.”
Jayne Barber, founder-director of JKMR, added: “By working in a partnership model we are able to provide clients with even greater insights that combine both consumer and B2B research.
