The Builders Merchants Federation (BMF) has celebrated an increase in pace of the roll out of its Regional Centres of Excellence this month, with three new centres launched in less than 10 days.
The BMF says members around the country have welcomed the move, which will give them access to BMF training and events on their doorstep.
Encon Insulation in Chorley is providing the facility for the BMF’s first Regional Centre in the North West.
Ridgeons’ Green Light Centre in Cambridge, created to train customers on its range of sustainable products, became the first BMF Centre in the Eastern region
Meanwhile the Keystone Group’s design, production and distribution centre in Cookstown will provide meeting and training facilities for the BMF in Northern Ireland.
The Centres form part of a localisation programme designed to strengthen the organisation’s regional presence and add to the support it offers members in their geographic area.
