The Members’ Day takes place on September 16-17 at Whittlebury Hall in Northamptonshire. It is the first time the event has been supported by a headline sponsor.
It also marks a new look for the BMF awards, which become the BMF/ACO Academy Awards, a black tie event to recognise the industry’s outstanding apprentices and young achievers.
ACO Academy is a training facility which offers builders merchants online training and training days at both its head office and in merchants’ branches.
“We are delighted to secure our first ever headline sponsor for Members Day; it’s a sign of the high esteem that the event is now held in,” said BMF managing director John Newcomb. “This year’s theme, Accelerating Growth, does not just refer to company growth, it’s about the growth of the people working in the industry too. I know ACO are just as passionate as the BMF in supporting continuous personal development.”
Lord Wolfson, CEO of Footsie 100 company Next, will be a VIP guest at the Awards dinner and a keynote speaker for the business programme the following day.
Other distinguished names attending the event will be announced over the next two months.
