He loves spending time with his family and taking his son Ollie out on his quadbike. He is busy trying to get his wife to let him have another parrot, but we think the answer is still going to be no!!
Curtis Hurren – Warehouse and installation assistant
Joined KBB in April 2018. Curtis is Tommy’s cousin and joined to assist both in the warehouse and with worktops. Curtis has been a quick learner at KBB and can turn his hand to most things. He has since been involved with installation and we are keen to teach him the tools of the trade and increase his knowledge.
Curtis is young free and single. A fan of boxing, he enjoys going out with his friends, and keeping fit – which is great as this counter balances his loves of a kebab!!!
Julie Usher – Accounts Administrator
Joined KBB in 2019. Julie has been friends with Sarah and Patrick for many years as their children went to the same preschool, Julie and Sarah were also members of Bramford Scout committee. It was at one such Scout Committee meeting that Sarah expressed the need for help in the office.

Nathan Lloyd– Kitchen fitter & Worktop Specialist
Joined KBB in 2021 to assist Tommy with the installation of solid surface worktops, in order to free up Tommy to concentrate more on installation. Nathan’s previous experience with solid surface worktops meant that this was an easy transition for him. Nathan quickly picked up kitchen installation working alongside Tommy and he now fits more kitchens that he does solid surface worktops!
Nathan’s wife is the owner of ‘The Little Cake Place’ which is great for the KBB gang whenever she has any leftovers! He is dad to a little boy and also ‘dog daddy’ to Bella the Boxer dog. Nathan is a fan of boxing and an ITFC supporter.
Thomas Peck – Trainee Kitchen fitter
Joined KBB in 2021. Thomas is the son of Patrick and Sarah. During Covid his dad took him along to help him fit kitchens in empty buildings on a New Build site. Since they had been self- isolating together this was acceptable. After Covid Tommo went back to college but decided it wasn’t for him so he joined the family business. He has done a little bit of designing but found that fitting was what he enjoyed more. He has been trained up by his dad and is now more often than not found learning the ropes by fitting alongside Curtis.
Tommo is a true ‘Peck’ He likes his food and his football!
Richard Burman – Designer
Joined KBB in 2021. Richard came to KBB with a history in the building and installation industry, having worked at both Wickes and Jewson’s. As Richard has experience with both bathrooms and kitchens, he is a welcome addition to the KBB Sales team. Richard is very meticulous and has keen eye for detail.
Richard is a father or 2 and is known at KBB for his terrible ‘dad jokes ‘and his eclectic taste in music! (Just ask the Alexa on his desk!)
Carl Roper – Senior Installer
Joined KBB in 2023. Carl has YEARS of experience in installation and building projects. He worked for many years on and off for KBB as a sub-contractor until they finally managed to convince him to come on the books full time. Carl has a wealth of knowledge in kitchens, bathrooms and everything in between. He was a welcome addition to the installation team as he does bathrooms as well as kitchens! Carl’s extensive understanding of the industry means that he is an ideal candidate to train the younger generation. He has worked alongside many of the younger KBB boys at some point and is now training up the latest member of the team Craig in the ways of bathroom installation.
Carl like his heavy metal music, festivals and biscuits!
Craig Smith – Trainee Installer
Joined KBB in 2023. Craig is a good friend of Tommys and came on board to learn new skills and be part of Team KBB. Craig is easy going and versatile and keen to learn. Originally down to assist Tommy and Nathan with solid surface worktops, Craig has also helped with kitchen fitting. However, having several teams of kitchen fitters already we decided to move Craig in to bathrooms with Carl to be trained up on bathroom installation. He has quickly picked up an array of skills and his high level of workmanship means that he is KBB’s kind of fitter.
Craig is a family man and loves spending time with his wife and son. He enjoys long walks with his dog and hiking.
