The Builders Merchants Federation (BMF) is co-ordinating a new scheme to provide NHS workers with discounts at local builders’ merchants.
‘Builders’ Merchants Supporting The NHS’ has been developed in recognition of support provided by healthcare staff throughout the pandemic.
For the next six months, NHS discounts will be offered by 33 BMF merchants, between them operating 1,225 branches throughout the country.
Each participating BMF member will offer their own discount deals, averaging a 10% reduction on the standard price, to NHS workers presenting ID such as an NHS staff card.
The BMF has compiled a full list of participating members, together with an overview of the discount they each provide.
John Newcomb, chief executive officer of the BMF, said: “Throughout the pandemic, our NHS workers have gone above and beyond the call of duty to support the health of the nation. As we start the return to ‘normality’, the merchant industry wanted to come together and thank them.”
Kieran Griffin, managing director at Travis Perkins, one of the participating merchants, said: “We’re proud to take part in this BMF initiative and offer NHS workers a 10% dedicated discount when they buy from us as a small recognition and thank you to those who have been – and remain – on the front line caring for us and our families, for which we’re all so grateful.”
