Builders Merchants Journal – BMJ Publishing to Builders Merchants and the UK merchanting industry for more than 95 years
UPVC fascia, cladding and roofline manufacturer Kestrel has joined the Builder’s Merchant Federation (BMF).
The move follows a period of growth for BMF, which now has 850 merchant and supplier companies. Together, they have combined sales of over £44bn and employ over 225,000 people in the building materials industry.
Owen Thorogood, Kestrel sales and marketing director, said: “Having started out in builder’s merchants, I know the value of the support, training, advocacy and insights available through BMF.”
“They have really stepped up during the difficult years of the pandemic, which was such a difficult time for independent merchants. Kestrel is really proud to support an organisation that is showing such leadership in the industry.”
Oz Bham, business development manager for the BMF, added: “We are delighted to have Kestrel join BMF as a supplier. The value of the BMF starts in its membership and the combination of merchants and suppliers like Kestrel makes a stronger, united voice for the whole industry.”
