Builders Merchants Journal – BMJ Publishing to Builders Merchants and the UK merchanting industry for more than 95 years
The Builders Merchants Federation (BMF) has been named the winner of the Full Power Utilities Partnership / Association Award 2026, recognising the Federation’s work to raise awareness among members of opportunities to reduce energy costs and improve energy efficiency.
Presented by BMF business service provider Full Power Utilities, the award recognises the value of promoting conversations about energy use and procurement. With energy costs remaining a significant consideration for businesses across the building materials supply chain, the partnership gives BMF members an opportunity to explore how to manage energy expenditure and identify potential savings.
BMF commercial director, Mike Tattam, said: “The Award recognises the value of working closely with our service providers to bring practical support and opportunities to BMF members. Energy is a high cost for many businesses. Full Power Utilities helps us ensure that members are aware of the options available to them.”
Suzanne Millward, BMF regional manager for the South West and South Wales, received the trophy, along with a £250 cheque which will be donated to the BMF charity partners, The Educational Frontier Trust (TEFT) and the Maddie Rose Foundation.
