TTJ Timber Merchanting Development Award entry deadline nears
26 June 2023There is still time to enter the TTJ Timber Merchanting Development Award. The merchanting award, which is organised in association with the Builders Merchants Federation (BMF), forms part of the annual TTJ Awards – the UK timber industry’s leading annual awards event.
The judged category, open to builders’ and timber merchants, is designed to reward companies which have invested in their businesses to foster growth, improve efficiency and better serve their customers. The Award is particularly aimed at initiatives and investments to develop and improve the timber side of businesses.
This may involve a range of actions covering, for example (but not limited to), improving the timber product range, delivery service, site and infrastructure investment (buildings, handling equipment, storage, showrooms/shop), investment in management/ordering software, machinery and initiatives to educate the end-user in correct timber specification.
“A lot of good work has been done by merchants to boost their timber business,” said TTJ editor Stephen Powney. “That’s why we want to hear about exemplar projects which have taken merchants’ timber businesses to a whole new level.”
The BMF is the only trade association representing merchants and suppliers in the UK and Ireland, with a vision to enable members to build excellence in building materials supply. Total membership from May 1, 2023 stands at 880 merchant and supplier companies who together have combined sales of over £44bn and employ over 205,000 people in the building materials industry. BMF’s 447 merchant members operate from over 5,800 branches across the UK and Ireland.
