NIKO BATHROOMS, INNOVATES, INFORMS, AND INSPIRES THROUGH AN INSIGHTFUL EVENT

Niko Bathrooms is one of the fastest growing bathroom product brands in Ireland. Part of Uppercross Enterprises, already a leading plumbing and heating supplier to the trade, they reinforced their status as a valuable business partner through an inspiring event on the 12th November, that showcased and brought together industry leaders in retail and interior design. Over 250 people within the sector came together to view, network, reconnect and get inspired by Niko Bathrooms full range on display at their premises in Tallaght.

The day started with four informative 30-minute talks by Aoife Rhattigan of Restless Design and DIY SOS. Those in attendance were delighted by the unique insights and inspiration gathered just by attending this thought leader’s presentations.
