Over £14,000 was raised for charity during the Gala Dinner that concluded the BMF All Industry Conference in Barcelona last weekend.
The funds will be split between the BMF’s nominated charities for 2025, Variety, the Children’s Charity and The Educational Frontier Trust (TEFT), which provides free education for vulnerable children in Kenya.
John Newcomb BMF CEO said: “Our Gala Dinner always provides a glorious finale to the Conference. This year’s dinner, held at the historic La Llotja De Mar, one of the finest buildings in Barcelona, was attended by 450 people whose generosity has added another fantastic sum to our charities.
“The entire conference raised the bar once again for our bi-annual All Industry event. I want to thank our brilliant speakers, our returning host, Mark Durden-Smith, and the BMF team for working so hard to ensure that delegates had a great time and went home with plenty of food for thought, as well as new contacts.”
The BMF thanked headline sponsor, ACO, and key sponsors BMN, Breedon, Intact, Klipboard (formerly Kerridge Commercial Systems), Knauf, Knauf Insulation, Marsh, Polypipe, Unilin and Velux
