Two honourable mentions were made in the Young Merchant Achiever category, with Fergus Bell of Bradfords Building Supplies taking the silver runners-up prize and Zia Islam of Gibbs & Dandy taking the bronze award for third place. 

“The Young Achiever of the Year Awards were launched in 2013 to recognise and reward talent, commitment, innovation and achievement amongst the next generation of BMF members,” said John Newcomb, BMF CEO. “They provide a huge confidence boost not only to the winners, but to all those nominated for an Award.”
