The Institute of Builders Merchants is to provide the BMF Campus on-line product knowledge portal as a free benefit to its members.
Institute President Andrew Pine said: “Via the exclusive-to-members section of the Institute’s website www.iobm.co.uk and thanks to excellent support from the BMF, our members can now access all 100 plus industry-standard courses on everything from chipboard to solar heating at no additional cost, making membership subscription (starting at only £15 a year for Student Grade) a great investment in personal development”.
In addition, the Institute website now features a Forum facility, where members can post comments and take part in debates on industry-relevant subjects.
The website as a whole is seen by the Institute as an important route to encouraging new membership as well as directly re-engaging existing members.
