17 videos from the Builders Merchant Building Index’s (BMBI) Round Table Debate have now been made available to view on its website.
Hosted by Builders’ Merchant News (BMN) group editor Jennie Ward at the BMBI’s offices in Coventry, the first annual debate brought together BMBI experts and covered five main topics spanning the industry.
They debated Brexit, capacity, housing, the role of the merchant, and changing customer requirements. Each topic is split into sub categories, covering specific issues within each one, with individual trailers so that viewers can get a flavour of the discussions.
The BMBI Experts that took part included Mike Beard, merchant development director at Encon Insulation; Nigel Cox, managing director at Timbmet; John Sinfield, managing director at Knauf Insulation; Andy Simpson, commercial director at Hanson Cement; Derrick McFarland, managing director at Keystone Lintels; Steve Halford, group managing director at Crystal Direct; Andy Williamson, group managing director at IKO; and Steve Durdant-Hollamby, managing director at Alumasc Water Management Solutions. BMF Chairman Peter Hindle, BMF MD John Newcomb and MRA Marketing CEO Mike Rigby also took part.
The Experts speak exclusively for their markets, explaining trends, issues and opportunities. Each Expert adds perspective and context to the data, and helps to make sense of trends for users of the BMBI.
