Pasquill has become the latest timber products supplier to join the Builders Merchants Federation (BMF) following the formation of the BMF Timber Forum.
The forum was established in November 2014 to support merchant members and their suppliers in the timber and wood products market. Its methods include liaison and representation with other trade and regulatory bodies; sharing best practice and disseminating information; and gathering views on legislation, product and building standards and other issues that may affect trading.
Pasquill has 17 design centres and ten manufacturing sites across the UK, providing national coverage to customers of all sizes. In addition to the roof trusses that the company supplies, Pasquill’s product portfolio includes a full range of engineered timber solutions including I Joists, Posi-joists, panelised roof systems, cassette floors, spandrel panels and Glulam. It is one of a family of companies that make up Saint-Gobain Building Distribution.
Ross Baxter, Pasquill’s general manager, said:
“The company currently plays a leading role in its industry body, the Trussed Rafter Association, and we are looking forward to playing a full part in the BMF, particularly within the Timber Forum.”
John Newcomb, managing director of the BMF, said:
“I am delighted to welcome another timber specialist into membership. It demonstrates the industry’s need for a common forum dedicated to one of the most widely used building materials. I look forward to working with Pasquill as the BMF Timber Forum gathers momentum in the New Year.”
