Builders Merchants Journal – BMJ Publishing to Builders Merchants and the UK merchanting industry for more than 95 years
Travis Perkins, Tarmac Blue Circle and Band of Builders have entered a partnership for the ‘Big Brew’ tour 2026, an initiative designed to provide a safe space for construction workers and tradespeople to talk openly about their mental health.
More than 75 Travis Perkins branches are due to host events in 2026, during which tradespeople will be invited into branches to have a chat with fellow workers ‘over a cuppa’, as well as having access to the wellbeing services of leading construction charity Band of Builders.
Group marketing director for Travis Perkins, Carine Jessamine, said: “We are proud to be at the heart of the Big Brew tour with Tarmac Blue Circle and Band of Builders once again.
“We hosted events in around 30 branches last year and received fantastic feedback so we wanted to reach even more people. We are delighted to be more than doubling the number of events compared to last year.”
