Builders Merchants Journal – BMJ Publishing to Builders Merchants and the UK merchanting industry for more than 95 years
The Builders Merchants Federation has launched its annual search for the industry’s brightest rising stars through the BMF Young Achiever Awards 2021.
Launched in 2013, the Awards feature two categories – Young Merchant Achiever and Young Supplier/Service Achiever. Both are open to anyone under 35 who has demonstrated an ability to go above and beyond in their role, for example by identifying new opportunities or implementing new concepts with a real benefit for their business. The Awards are sponsored by Hafele, Bostik, Mannok and GfK.
John Newcomb, CEO of the Builders Merchants Federation said: “With so much media focus on skills shortages and the difficulties of attracting young people into the industry, it’s easy to overlook the fact that there is already a pool of extremely talented young people working in the building materials industry. The BMF Young Achiever Awards recognise and reward their talent, commitment, innovation and achievement.”
The Award winners will be announced at the BMF Members’ Annual Conference and Awards on Thursday 23 September 2021. The closing date for entries is 31 July 2021. Entrants can be nominated by a manager, a colleague, or even nominate themselves.
