<h1><span style="font-family: Arial;">BMF agrees group membership scheme with lightside specialist, Troy UK </span></h1>
<img alt="" src="https://www.bmf.org.uk/images/News/BMF%20logo%20with%20strapline%20400.jpg" style="border:1px solid #244061;float: right; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 15px;"><span
style="font-family: Arial;"><strong>3</strong></span><strong>0 May 2022<br>
</strong>
<br> The BMF has agreed a progressive group membership scheme with Troy UK, the tooling, workwear and industrial supplies buying group, beginning on June 1, 2022. <br>
<br> The agreement sees 22 Troy members joining the BMF immediately, with up to 50 more becoming BMF members in January 2023. The two organisations have a longer-term plan to bring more of Troy’s 400+
members into BMF membership over the next three years. <br>
<br> Originally established in 1986 to supply the engineering industry, Troy added hand and power tools to its offer in 1990 and this has become the core element of the Group’s business. Troy now provides
buying power on a range of products from more than 400 suppliers.<br>
<br> With a clear focus on supporting independent businesses, providing back-end service support and business solutions to help them scale and grow, the group’s revenue has grown tenfold to £300 million over
the past decade. Each of the first wave of Troy members joining the BMF has a turnover in excess of £5 million. Troy now has a five-year strategy targeting continued growth by supporting current members,
attracting new members and through further acquisitions. <br>
<strong><br> John Newcomb, BMF CEO said:</strong> “As the trade association for building materials distribution, encompassing specialist and generalist merchants of all sizes, we are delighted to announce our
latest partnership agreement with Troy UK. This not only expands our reach in the lightside market but will also enable a growing number of smaller, independent businesses to benefit from BMF training,
business services and representation with government. <br>
<strong><br> ”Paul Kilbride, Chairman/CEO Troy UK said:</strong>
<p>“Having worked closely with the BMF for the last 12 months, we are confident that this agreement successfully blends the complementary skill sets of our respective organisations. Our member profile has
changed dramatically from our early roots in engineering and is now spread across a diverse range of markets, with construction being one of the largest growth areas for our Group in both recent and future
years. Our new alliance and future collaboration with the leading trade body in the building supplies market will benefit all involved.”</p>

<br> The BMF has agreed a progressive group membership scheme with Troy UK, the tooling, workwear and industrial supplies buying group, beginning on June 1, 2022. <br>
<br> The agreement sees 22 Troy members joining the BMF immediately, with up to 50 more becoming BMF members in January 2023. The two organisations have a longer-term plan to bring more of Troy’s 400+
members into BMF membership over the next three years. <br>
<br> Originally established in 1986 to supply the engineering industry, Troy added hand and power tools to its offer in 1990 and this has become the core element of the Group’s business. Troy now provides
buying power on a range of products from more than 400 suppliers.<br>
<br> With a clear focus on supporting independent businesses, providing back-end service support and business solutions to help them scale and grow, the group’s revenue has grown tenfold to £300 million over
the past decade. Each of the first wave of Troy members joining the BMF has a turnover in excess of £5 million. Troy now has a five-year strategy targeting continued growth by supporting current members,
attracting new members and through further acquisitions. <br>
<strong><br> John Newcomb, BMF CEO said:</strong> “As the trade association for building materials distribution, encompassing specialist and generalist merchants of all sizes, we are delighted to announce our
latest partnership agreement with Troy UK. This not only expands our reach in the lightside market but will also enable a growing number of smaller, independent businesses to benefit from BMF training,
business services and representation with government. <br>
<strong><br> ”Paul Kilbride, Chairman/CEO Troy UK said:</strong>
<p>“Having worked closely with the BMF for the last 12 months, we are confident that this agreement successfully blends the complementary skill sets of our respective organisations. Our member profile has
changed dramatically from our early roots in engineering and is now spread across a diverse range of markets, with construction being one of the largest growth areas for our Group in both recent and future
years. Our new alliance and future collaboration with the leading trade body in the building supplies market will benefit all involved.”</p>

<h1>New team elected to head BMF Young Merchants</h1>
<br>
<strong>18 October 2021<br>
</strong><br>
<img alt="" src="/images/News/Young%20Merchants.jpg" style="float: right; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 15px;">Jo Callow, Head of Communications for UK & Ireland at Knauf Insulation is the new Chair of
the Builders Merchants Federation’s (BMF) Young Merchant Group. She will be supported by Ed Parlato, Buyer at Browns Builders Merchants, who was elected to replace Jo as Vice Chair.<br>
<br> Jo takes over from Glenn Paddison, who completed his term as Chair at the BMF Young Merchant Conference held this year at the NEC, Birmingham during National Construction Week and attended by 150
people.<br>
<br> Jo has been an active member of the Young Merchant Group for seven years, serving as Vice Chair since 2018. She joined the Group after winning the BMF Young Supplier Achiever Award in 2014, just a
year after she entered the building materials industry as a member of Knauf Insulation’s Merchant Support Team. Jo continued to work closely with merchants in her subsequent roles at Knauf Insulation as Area
Sales Manager and National Merchant Support Manager. She was promoted to her current role in 2020. <br> <br> Jo is keen to continue developing the BMF Young Merchant’s work and influence. She
said:<br>
<br> “I am delighted and honoured to take on the role of Chair and looking forward to working with Ed to build on all that Glenn achieved during his chairmanship. The current drive to achieve net zero makes
this a particularly exciting time, offering even more opportunities for young people entering the industry. I know from my own experience how the interaction within the Young Merchant Group helps members as
they build their careers. Our focus will be on delivering quality events to support this.”<br>
<br> Vice Chair, Ed Parlato, is currently involved in the purchasing side of Browns an independent, family run merchants in Derby, but has tackled many other roles in the business over the years. He is also
part of the NBG Category Management team for tools and workwear.<br>
<br> Commenting on his appointment as Vice Chair, Ed said:<br>
<br> “The Young Merchant group has grown enormously in the past few years. When I first joined there were 20 people at the meeting, the latest Conference had over 150. Every Chair has built on the work of the
last and I’m looking forward to working with Jo and supporting her over the next two years, and I will be listening to members of the group to make sure their views are represented. If the last 18 months has
shown us anything, it is to expect the unexpected. I always marvel at the intelligence and creativity of all the people in Young Merchants, and I hope I can capture part of that to share with the wider
industry.”<br>
<br> The BMF Young Merchant Group supports merchants and suppliers aged between 18 and 40 in their career development. Membership is open to those holding a key management position within their organisation.
They benefit from twice yearly meetings and networking events, and an annual fact-finding trip, normally overseas.<br>

<h1>Hundreds of Travis Perkins apprentices join IoBM </h1>
<br>
<strong>06 October 2021<br>
</strong><br>
<img alt="" src="/images/Logos/Travis%20Perkins.jpg" style="border:1px solid #1f497d;float: right; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 15px;">Travis Perkins has become the first national merchant to support The
Institute of Builders Merchants’ (IOBM) ambitious plans to professionalise the merchant industry by signing up a large number of its apprentices as student members.<br>
<br> More than 800 Travis Perkins apprentices joined the IOBM on 1 October 2021. New apprentices joining Travis Perkins will also be given the opportunity to join the Institute.<br>
<br> Student members benefit from the IOBM’s role as an independent accreditation body and its structured framework for Continuing Professional Development (CPD). Bi-annual conferences for student members are
also planned and due to begin in autumn 2022.<br>
<br> Unlike most employers, Travis Perkins is an accredited provider of apprenticeships with over 40 apprenticeship programmes on offer, suited to a wide range of candidates. These include existing employees
who want to develop their skills or build expertise in other areas as they progress to new roles, as well as those joining the industry, either from school or university or migrating over to an apprenticeship
having joined the business from the Government’s Kickstarter programme, or those switching from a former occupation and joining the sector later in their careers.<br>
<br> Andy Rayner, Head of Apprenticeships and Early Careers for Travis Perkins Group, said:<br>
<br> “We pride ourselves on providing a full range of apprenticeships from the branch counter to the Boardroom. Our apprenticeships are designed to support existing employees as well as individuals with no
prior knowledge of our industry or our business, to give them the skills they need to become valued colleagues. <br>
<br> “This is very much in line with the ethos of the IOBM and by introducing our apprentices to the Institute as student members, they will be able to assess how active membership can support them as they
continue to develop their careers. We asked our 1,000 apprentices if they wanted to become members of the IOBM and we were delighted that the vast majority did.”<br>
<br> Announcing the news at the Builders Merchants Federation’s Young Merchant Conference, BMF CEO, John Newcomb said:<br>
<br> “The IOBM Management Committee set a membership target of 1,000 new members by the end of the year. With the support of Travis Perkins, we will achieve this by the end of October. <br>
<br> “It is particularly encouraging to see the largest builders’ merchant in the UK bringing such a significant number of new recruits to the industry into membership. Through accreditation and CPD the IOBM
has set out a pathway to professionalism in the merchanting industry which can support them through their entire career. We hope others will now follow this example.”<br>
<br> The IOBM merged with the BMF earlier this year and operates as a separate brand of the BMF, with its own management body. The IOBM has a clear aim to become a Chartered Institute, supporting the highest
standards of professionalism within the industry. <br>

<h1>Haulage a priority for BMF</h1>
<br>
<strong>3 September 2021<br>
</strong><br>
<img src="/images/Events/Transport%20-%20Truck%20Driver%20400x287.jpg" alt="Haulage a priority for BMF" style="float: right; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 15px;" title="Haulage a priority for BMF">New data
from the BMF reveals the shortage of HGV drivers as the main challenge faced by its members, who are already performing a balancing act to keep the building materials supply chain running across the
UK. <br>
<br> A snap survey of BMF members found 67% of builders’ merchant respondents and 86% of supplier respondents are affected by haulage issues, citing it as their number one concern.<br>
<br> John Newcomb, BMF CEO said: <br>
<br> “Haulage, and in particular the shortage of HGV drivers, has become our industry’s number one concern, and the results of our member survey have been fed into discussions between the transport industry and
government.<br>
<br> “Some suppliers are reporting that the standard five-day lead time has more than doubled. In some cases, we are even seeing increases of up to four weeks. We have heard reports that suppliers are asking
merchants to collect orders as they cannot get enough drivers to complete deliveries.<br>
<br> “Driver recruitment is the main challenge. Both suppliers and merchants are prepared to recruit or retrain existing staff as drivers, but there are limited opportunities for training and testing.
They want more testing to be made available to help get new HGV drivers on the road.”<br>
<br> The issue is not confined to the building materials industry. The Covid-19 pandemic, Brexit and tax changes have contributed to haulage challenges, with transport industry bodies estimating a
shortfall of around 100,000 HGV drivers, with an estimated 15,000 lost following the UK’s exit from the EU.<br>
<br> Logistics UK’s May 2021 tracker survey found 61% of respondents considered recruitment of HGV drivers to be a ‘severe’ or ‘very severe’ challenge, while 50% cited the availability of testing as a
‘moderate’ or ‘extreme’ barrier to recovery.<br>
<br> John Newcomb added: <br>
<br> “Builders merchants have done a fantastic job managing product demand and supply in the face of high global demand and reduced capacity resulting from the pandemic. Haulage is the latest challenge and our
top priority. We are doing everything we can to assist discussions between the freight industry and government as they seek to agree both short and long term solutions.”<br>

<h1>New team elected to head BMF Young Merchants</h1>
<br>
<strong>18 October 2021<br>
</strong><br>
<img alt="" src="/images/News/Young%20Merchants.jpg" style="float: right; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 15px;">Jo Callow, Head of Communications for UK & Ireland at Knauf Insulation is the new Chair of
the Builders Merchants Federation’s (BMF) Young Merchant Group. She will be supported by Ed Parlato, Buyer at Browns Builders Merchants, who was elected to replace Jo as Vice Chair.<br>
<br> Jo takes over from Glenn Paddison, who completed his term as Chair at the BMF Young Merchant Conference held this year at the NEC, Birmingham during National Construction Week and attended by 150
people.<br>
<br> Jo has been an active member of the Young Merchant Group for seven years, serving as Vice Chair since 2018. She joined the Group after winning the BMF Young Supplier Achiever Award in 2014, just a
year after she entered the building materials industry as a member of Knauf Insulation’s Merchant Support Team. Jo continued to work closely with merchants in her subsequent roles at Knauf Insulation as Area
Sales Manager and National Merchant Support Manager. She was promoted to her current role in 2020. <br> <br> Jo is keen to continue developing the BMF Young Merchant’s work and influence. She
said:<br>
<br> “I am delighted and honoured to take on the role of Chair and looking forward to working with Ed to build on all that Glenn achieved during his chairmanship. The current drive to achieve net zero makes
this a particularly exciting time, offering even more opportunities for young people entering the industry. I know from my own experience how the interaction within the Young Merchant Group helps members as
they build their careers. Our focus will be on delivering quality events to support this.”<br>
<br> Vice Chair, Ed Parlato, is currently involved in the purchasing side of Browns an independent, family run merchants in Derby, but has tackled many other roles in the business over the years. He is also
part of the NBG Category Management team for tools and workwear.<br>
<br> Commenting on his appointment as Vice Chair, Ed said:<br>
<br> “The Young Merchant group has grown enormously in the past few years. When I first joined there were 20 people at the meeting, the latest Conference had over 150. Every Chair has built on the work of the
last and I’m looking forward to working with Jo and supporting her over the next two years, and I will be listening to members of the group to make sure their views are represented. If the last 18 months has
shown us anything, it is to expect the unexpected. I always marvel at the intelligence and creativity of all the people in Young Merchants, and I hope I can capture part of that to share with the wider
industry.”<br>
<br> The BMF Young Merchant Group supports merchants and suppliers aged between 18 and 40 in their career development. Membership is open to those holding a key management position within their organisation.
They benefit from twice yearly meetings and networking events, and an annual fact-finding trip, normally overseas.<br>

<h1>Hundreds of Travis Perkins apprentices join IoBM </h1>
<br>
<strong>06 October 2021<br>
</strong><br>
<img alt="" src="/images/Logos/Travis%20Perkins.jpg" style="border:1px solid #1f497d;float: right; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 15px;">Travis Perkins has become the first national merchant to support The
Institute of Builders Merchants’ (IOBM) ambitious plans to professionalise the merchant industry by signing up a large number of its apprentices as student members.<br>
<br> More than 800 Travis Perkins apprentices joined the IOBM on 1 October 2021. New apprentices joining Travis Perkins will also be given the opportunity to join the Institute.<br>
<br> Student members benefit from the IOBM’s role as an independent accreditation body and its structured framework for Continuing Professional Development (CPD). Bi-annual conferences for student members are
also planned and due to begin in autumn 2022.<br>
<br> Unlike most employers, Travis Perkins is an accredited provider of apprenticeships with over 40 apprenticeship programmes on offer, suited to a wide range of candidates. These include existing employees
who want to develop their skills or build expertise in other areas as they progress to new roles, as well as those joining the industry, either from school or university or migrating over to an apprenticeship
having joined the business from the Government’s Kickstarter programme, or those switching from a former occupation and joining the sector later in their careers.<br>
<br> Andy Rayner, Head of Apprenticeships and Early Careers for Travis Perkins Group, said:<br>
<br> “We pride ourselves on providing a full range of apprenticeships from the branch counter to the Boardroom. Our apprenticeships are designed to support existing employees as well as individuals with no
prior knowledge of our industry or our business, to give them the skills they need to become valued colleagues. <br>
<br> “This is very much in line with the ethos of the IOBM and by introducing our apprentices to the Institute as student members, they will be able to assess how active membership can support them as they
continue to develop their careers. We asked our 1,000 apprentices if they wanted to become members of the IOBM and we were delighted that the vast majority did.”<br>
<br> Announcing the news at the Builders Merchants Federation’s Young Merchant Conference, BMF CEO, John Newcomb said:<br>
<br> “The IOBM Management Committee set a membership target of 1,000 new members by the end of the year. With the support of Travis Perkins, we will achieve this by the end of October. <br>
<br> “It is particularly encouraging to see the largest builders’ merchant in the UK bringing such a significant number of new recruits to the industry into membership. Through accreditation and CPD the IOBM
has set out a pathway to professionalism in the merchanting industry which can support them through their entire career. We hope others will now follow this example.”<br>
<br> The IOBM merged with the BMF earlier this year and operates as a separate brand of the BMF, with its own management body. The IOBM has a clear aim to become a Chartered Institute, supporting the highest
standards of professionalism within the industry. <br>

<h1>Haulage a priority for BMF</h1>
<br>
<strong>3 September 2021<br>
</strong><br>
<img src="/images/Events/Transport%20-%20Truck%20Driver%20400x287.jpg" alt="Haulage a priority for BMF" style="float: right; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 15px;" title="Haulage a priority for BMF">New data
from the BMF reveals the shortage of HGV drivers as the main challenge faced by its members, who are already performing a balancing act to keep the building materials supply chain running across the
UK. <br>
<br> A snap survey of BMF members found 67% of builders’ merchant respondents and 86% of supplier respondents are affected by haulage issues, citing it as their number one concern.<br>
<br> John Newcomb, BMF CEO said: <br>
<br> “Haulage, and in particular the shortage of HGV drivers, has become our industry’s number one concern, and the results of our member survey have been fed into discussions between the transport industry and
government.<br>
<br> “Some suppliers are reporting that the standard five-day lead time has more than doubled. In some cases, we are even seeing increases of up to four weeks. We have heard reports that suppliers are asking
merchants to collect orders as they cannot get enough drivers to complete deliveries.<br>
<br> “Driver recruitment is the main challenge. Both suppliers and merchants are prepared to recruit or retrain existing staff as drivers, but there are limited opportunities for training and testing.
They want more testing to be made available to help get new HGV drivers on the road.”<br>
<br> The issue is not confined to the building materials industry. The Covid-19 pandemic, Brexit and tax changes have contributed to haulage challenges, with transport industry bodies estimating a
shortfall of around 100,000 HGV drivers, with an estimated 15,000 lost following the UK’s exit from the EU.<br>
<br> Logistics UK’s May 2021 tracker survey found 61% of respondents considered recruitment of HGV drivers to be a ‘severe’ or ‘very severe’ challenge, while 50% cited the availability of testing as a
‘moderate’ or ‘extreme’ barrier to recovery.<br>
<br> John Newcomb added: <br>
<br> “Builders merchants have done a fantastic job managing product demand and supply in the face of high global demand and reduced capacity resulting from the pandemic. Haulage is the latest challenge and our
top priority. We are doing everything we can to assist discussions between the freight industry and government as they seek to agree both short and long term solutions.”<br>

<h1><span style="font-family: Arial;">BMF agrees group membership scheme with lightside specialist, Troy UK </span></h1>
<img alt="" src="https://www.bmf.org.uk/images/News/BMF%20logo%20with%20strapline%20400.jpg" style="border:1px solid #244061;float: right; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 15px;"><span
style="font-family: Arial;"><strong>3</strong></span><strong>0 May 2022<br>
</strong>
<br> The BMF has agreed a progressive group membership scheme with Troy UK, the tooling, workwear and industrial supplies buying group, beginning on June 1, 2022. <br>
<br> The agreement sees 22 Troy members joining the BMF immediately, with up to 50 more becoming BMF members in January 2023. The two organisations have a longer-term plan to bring more of Troy’s 400+
members into BMF membership over the next three years. <br>
<br> Originally established in 1986 to supply the engineering industry, Troy added hand and power tools to its offer in 1990 and this has become the core element of the Group’s business. Troy now provides
buying power on a range of products from more than 400 suppliers.<br>
<br> With a clear focus on supporting independent businesses, providing back-end service support and business solutions to help them scale and grow, the group’s revenue has grown tenfold to £300 million over
the past decade. Each of the first wave of Troy members joining the BMF has a turnover in excess of £5 million. Troy now has a five-year strategy targeting continued growth by supporting current members,
attracting new members and through further acquisitions. <br>
<strong><br> John Newcomb, BMF CEO said:</strong> “As the trade association for building materials distribution, encompassing specialist and generalist merchants of all sizes, we are delighted to announce our
latest partnership agreement with Troy UK. This not only expands our reach in the lightside market but will also enable a growing number of smaller, independent businesses to benefit from BMF training,
business services and representation with government. <br>
<strong><br> ”Paul Kilbride, Chairman/CEO Troy UK said:</strong>
<p>“Having worked closely with the BMF for the last 12 months, we are confident that this agreement successfully blends the complementary skill sets of our respective organisations. Our member profile has
changed dramatically from our early roots in engineering and is now spread across a diverse range of markets, with construction being one of the largest growth areas for our Group in both recent and future
years. Our new alliance and future collaboration with the leading trade body in the building supplies market will benefit all involved.”</p>

<h1>New team elected to head BMF Young Merchants</h1>
<br>
<strong>18 October 2021<br>
</strong><br>
<img alt="" src="/images/News/Young%20Merchants.jpg" style="float: right; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 15px;">Jo Callow, Head of Communications for UK & Ireland at Knauf Insulation is the new Chair of
the Builders Merchants Federation’s (BMF) Young Merchant Group. She will be supported by Ed Parlato, Buyer at Browns Builders Merchants, who was elected to replace Jo as Vice Chair.<br>
<br> Jo takes over from Glenn Paddison, who completed his term as Chair at the BMF Young Merchant Conference held this year at the NEC, Birmingham during National Construction Week and attended by 150
people.<br>
<br> Jo has been an active member of the Young Merchant Group for seven years, serving as Vice Chair since 2018. She joined the Group after winning the BMF Young Supplier Achiever Award in 2014, just a
year after she entered the building materials industry as a member of Knauf Insulation’s Merchant Support Team. Jo continued to work closely with merchants in her subsequent roles at Knauf Insulation as Area
Sales Manager and National Merchant Support Manager. She was promoted to her current role in 2020. <br> <br> Jo is keen to continue developing the BMF Young Merchant’s work and influence. She
said:<br>
<br> “I am delighted and honoured to take on the role of Chair and looking forward to working with Ed to build on all that Glenn achieved during his chairmanship. The current drive to achieve net zero makes
this a particularly exciting time, offering even more opportunities for young people entering the industry. I know from my own experience how the interaction within the Young Merchant Group helps members as
they build their careers. Our focus will be on delivering quality events to support this.”<br>
<br> Vice Chair, Ed Parlato, is currently involved in the purchasing side of Browns an independent, family run merchants in Derby, but has tackled many other roles in the business over the years. He is also
part of the NBG Category Management team for tools and workwear.<br>
<br> Commenting on his appointment as Vice Chair, Ed said:<br>
<br> “The Young Merchant group has grown enormously in the past few years. When I first joined there were 20 people at the meeting, the latest Conference had over 150. Every Chair has built on the work of the
last and I’m looking forward to working with Jo and supporting her over the next two years, and I will be listening to members of the group to make sure their views are represented. If the last 18 months has
shown us anything, it is to expect the unexpected. I always marvel at the intelligence and creativity of all the people in Young Merchants, and I hope I can capture part of that to share with the wider
industry.”<br>
<br> The BMF Young Merchant Group supports merchants and suppliers aged between 18 and 40 in their career development. Membership is open to those holding a key management position within their organisation.
They benefit from twice yearly meetings and networking events, and an annual fact-finding trip, normally overseas.<br>

<h1>Hundreds of Travis Perkins apprentices join IoBM </h1>
<br>
<strong>06 October 2021<br>
</strong><br>
<img alt="" src="/images/Logos/Travis%20Perkins.jpg" style="border:1px solid #1f497d;float: right; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 15px;">Travis Perkins has become the first national merchant to support The
Institute of Builders Merchants’ (IOBM) ambitious plans to professionalise the merchant industry by signing up a large number of its apprentices as student members.<br>
<br> More than 800 Travis Perkins apprentices joined the IOBM on 1 October 2021. New apprentices joining Travis Perkins will also be given the opportunity to join the Institute.<br>
<br> Student members benefit from the IOBM’s role as an independent accreditation body and its structured framework for Continuing Professional Development (CPD). Bi-annual conferences for student members are
also planned and due to begin in autumn 2022.<br>
<br> Unlike most employers, Travis Perkins is an accredited provider of apprenticeships with over 40 apprenticeship programmes on offer, suited to a wide range of candidates. These include existing employees
who want to develop their skills or build expertise in other areas as they progress to new roles, as well as those joining the industry, either from school or university or migrating over to an apprenticeship
having joined the business from the Government’s Kickstarter programme, or those switching from a former occupation and joining the sector later in their careers.<br>
<br> Andy Rayner, Head of Apprenticeships and Early Careers for Travis Perkins Group, said:<br>
<br> “We pride ourselves on providing a full range of apprenticeships from the branch counter to the Boardroom. Our apprenticeships are designed to support existing employees as well as individuals with no
prior knowledge of our industry or our business, to give them the skills they need to become valued colleagues. <br>
<br> “This is very much in line with the ethos of the IOBM and by introducing our apprentices to the Institute as student members, they will be able to assess how active membership can support them as they
continue to develop their careers. We asked our 1,000 apprentices if they wanted to become members of the IOBM and we were delighted that the vast majority did.”<br>
<br> Announcing the news at the Builders Merchants Federation’s Young Merchant Conference, BMF CEO, John Newcomb said:<br>
<br> “The IOBM Management Committee set a membership target of 1,000 new members by the end of the year. With the support of Travis Perkins, we will achieve this by the end of October. <br>
<br> “It is particularly encouraging to see the largest builders’ merchant in the UK bringing such a significant number of new recruits to the industry into membership. Through accreditation and CPD the IOBM
has set out a pathway to professionalism in the merchanting industry which can support them through their entire career. We hope others will now follow this example.”<br>
<br> The IOBM merged with the BMF earlier this year and operates as a separate brand of the BMF, with its own management body. The IOBM has a clear aim to become a Chartered Institute, supporting the highest
standards of professionalism within the industry. <br>

<h1>Haulage a priority for BMF</h1>

<strong>3 September 2021<br>

<img src="/images/Events/Transport%20-%20Truck%20Driver%20400x287.jpg" alt="Haulage a priority for BMF" style="float: right; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 15px;" title="Haulage a priority for BMF">New data
from the BMF reveals the shortage of HGV drivers as the main challenge faced by its members, who are already performing a balancing act to keep the building materials supply chain running across the
UK. <br>
<br> A snap survey of BMF members found 67% of builders’ merchant respondents and 86% of supplier respondents are affected by haulage issues, citing it as their number one concern.<br>
<br> John Newcomb, BMF CEO said: <br>
<br> “Haulage, and in particular the shortage of HGV drivers, has become our industry’s number one concern, and the results of our member survey have been fed into discussions between the transport industry and
government.<br>
<br> “Some suppliers are reporting that the standard five-day lead time has more than doubled. In some cases, we are even seeing increases of up to four weeks. We have heard reports that suppliers are asking
merchants to collect orders as they cannot get enough drivers to complete deliveries.<br>
<br> “Driver recruitment is the main challenge. Both suppliers and merchants are prepared to recruit or retrain existing staff as drivers, but there are limited opportunities for training and testing.
They want more testing to be made available to help get new HGV drivers on the road.”<br>
<br> The issue is not confined to the building materials industry. The Covid-19 pandemic, Brexit and tax changes have contributed to haulage challenges, with transport industry bodies estimating a
shortfall of around 100,000 HGV drivers, with an estimated 15,000 lost following the UK’s exit from the EU.<br>
<br> Logistics UK’s May 2021 tracker survey found 61% of respondents considered recruitment of HGV drivers to be a ‘severe’ or ‘very severe’ challenge, while 50% cited the availability of testing as a
‘moderate’ or ‘extreme’ barrier to recovery.<br>
<br> John Newcomb added: <br>
<br> “Builders merchants have done a fantastic job managing product demand and supply in the face of high global demand and reduced capacity resulting from the pandemic. Haulage is the latest challenge and our
top priority. We are doing everything we can to assist discussions between the freight industry and government as they seek to agree both short and long term solutions.”<br>

Moffat CBE, who was Britain’s highest ranking female Army officer, retiring as a Brigadier after almost 30 years of service, is the latest speaker to be confirmed for the BMF All Industry Conference in
November.</p> Nicky’s expertise and insights as a leader are drawn from roles as a Recruitment Training Commander, Training Regiment Commander and Director of her Branch of the Army. Throughout, she led
diverse mission-focused groups in an organisation both steeped in tradition but subject to rapid and significant changes of policy, technology and resources.<br>
<br> In her largest command, as brigadier, she led some 4,500 soldiers within the Army’s personnel and finance function. More broadly, Nicky served in strategy, policy, career management and finance roles in
the Army’s Personnel Centre, Army Headquarters and the Ministry of Defence.<br>
<br> She oversaw the Armed Forces Workforce Planning and Pay Review Programmes, focusing on recruitment, retention and on valuing and supporting service personnel financially for their work on operations. <br>
<br> She also advised Army board members on the retention and progression of female talent, with a view to developing a more inclusive high-performing culture. In 2012, Nicky left the Army to set up What Good
Leadership Looks Like. She now helps companies develop their people and make transformative and sustainable improvements in leadership and culture. <br>
<br> John Newcomb, BMF CEO said: “Nicky will give her perspective on the role of strong leadership in driving inclusive change and optimum performance, in what promises to be another fascinating session at the
much -anticipated BMF All Industry Conference.”<br>
<br> The sold-out, dual-centre BMF All Industry Conference is due to take place in Harrogate and York from 4 to 7 November 2021. Further details are available on the Conference website, www.bmfconference.co.uk

<h1>Price inflation outstrips volume growth in Q1 merchant sales</h1>
<br>
<strong><img src="/images/News/BMBI%20Q1%202022%20400x287.png" alt="Price inflation outstrips volume growth in Q1 merchant sales"
style="border:1px solid #1f497d;float: right; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 15px;" title="Price inflation outstrips volume growth in Q1 merchant sales">18 May 2021<br>
</strong><br> The BMF’s Builder Merchants Building Index (BMBI) latest report on sales of building materials in the UK, underscores the growing impact of price inflation on the sector. The value of sales in the
first quarter of 2022 was up by +17.7% against Q1 2021. Almost all of this was driven by price increases with volume rising by just +1.5%.<br>
<br> While the figures indicate a continuing demand for building materials, they also confirm price inflation as a critical issue, with the impact of rising energy, fuel and raw material costs on product price
clear to see. <br>
<br>
<strong>Q1 2022 vs Q1 2021<br>
<br>
</strong>Drilling down to year-on-year performance comparisons for the three largest product categories, the largest, Heavy Building Materials, increased +17.4% by value, but +5.0% by volume. This
category includes many energy-intensive products, and bricks, blocks, cement, plasterboard and roofing products all saw their highest quarterly prices to date.<br>
<br>
<strong>Timber & Joinery</strong> products have been even more affected by fluctuating prices over the past 12 months. Year on year results show sales value up by +21.4%, with volume down by<br>
-11.3%, a price increase of 36.9% over Q1 2021. However, this must be tempered by the fact that Q1 2022 Timber & Joinery prices decreased by -6.7% against Q4 2021, which may indicate that prices
in this category have already peaked.<br>
<br>
<strong>Landscaping</strong>, one of the strongest performers throughout the pandemic, saw a value increase of +14.4% against Q1 2021, with volumes down by -3.5%.<br>
<br>
<strong>John Newcomb, CEO of the BMF said:</strong><br> “Taken at first sight there are some astonishing value growth figures in this quarter’s BMBI, but this must be tempered by the disparity between price and
volume growth. The supply chain was already facing uncertainty before the outbreak of war in Ukraine. The conflict can only exacerbate this. Continuing pressure on availability coupled with rising costs
for raw materials, energy and labour suggests that price inflation will be the main story of 2022.”<br>
<br>
<strong>Emile van der Ryst, Senior Client Insight Manager – Trade at GfK added:</strong><br> “Growth forecasts have been revised down across the world since Russia invaded Ukraine at the end of February. At
this stage it is difficult to make any sensible prediction, but there’s an expectation that market conditions will become increasingly more difficult as prices continue to rise and consumer spend is stretched
further and further.”<br>

<h1>Building materials sales continue upward growth trend </h1>
<br>
<strong>26 May 2021<br>
</strong><br>
<img src="/images/News/BMBI%20Q1%202021%20400x287.jpg" alt="Building materials sales continue upward growth trend" style="float: right; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 15px;"
title="Building materials sales continue upward growth trend">The latest report from the BMF’s Builders Merchants Building Index (BMBI) shows sales of building materials continuing their upward growth trend
during Q1 2021.<br>
<br> One year on from the onset of the Covid pandemic, comparisons with Q1 2020 inevitably reference the initial fall in sales during the first lockdown period, which began on 24 March 2020. The
reality of the bounceback is impressive nonetheless with Q1 2021 sales volumes continuing the upward trend seen in Q4 2020, and comparing well with the pre-Covid levels seen in Q1 2019.<br>
<br> Looking at Q1 2021 in detail, January was down -3.7% on the same month the previous year, with February seeing annual growth of 2.3%. March however was a record month for the industry, with sales
increasing by 47.4% against March 2020 and by 23.0% against March 2019.<br>
<br> This results in overall Q1 growth of 15.1% against Q1 2020 and 6.0% against Q1 2019. The figures also confirm overall growth of 8.6% against Q4 2020, helped by three more trading days in Q1. Average
sales a day were up by 3.4%.<br>
<br>
<strong>Q1 2021 vs Q1 2020<br>
</strong>The strongest year on year performers were Landscaping, up by +41.4% on Q1 2020, and Timber & Joinery (+30.5%). Sales of Tools increased by +15.9% year on year, and were also up for the
largest product group, Heavy Building Materials (+10.3%) and Plumbing, Heating and Electrical products (+3.7%). <br>
<br> Workwear and Safetywear (-8.9%), one of the strongest performers a year ago when PPE was in great demand, was one of only four categories to record a fall in year on year sales for the quarter.<br>
<br>
<strong>Q1 2021 vs Q1 2019<br>
</strong>Comparing Q1 2021 with Q1 2019, Landscaping (+32.3%) and Timber & Joinery (+15.8%) were again the strongest performers. Heavy Building Materials also increased (+1.3%), but sales of Tools
(-1.8%) and Plumbing Heating and Electrical products (-4.4%) were both lower on the two year comparison.<br>
<br>
<strong>Q1 2021 vs Q4 2020<br>
</strong>A similar picture emerges when comparing quarter on quarter results. Sales increased in 11 out of 12 categories in Q1 2021 vs Q4 2020, again led by Landscaping (+26.2%) and Timber & Joinery
(+12.9%), strongly supported by Tools (+9.9%), Heavy Building Materials (+5.9%) and Plumbing, Heating & Electrical (+5.9%). <br>
<br> Kitchens and Bathrooms was one of the few areas to record a fall in sales in Q1 2021 against all three comparators, at -2.1% vs Q4 2020, -1.8% vs Q1 2020 and -6.7% vs Q1 2019. This may be due to
showrooms being deemed non-essential retail and closed during the period.<br>
<br>
<strong>John Newcomb, CEO of the Builders Merchants Federation said:<br>
</strong><br> “The first three months of the year may have seen the country once again in lockdown but even this could not prevent a boom in construction activity. This is an excellent start to the year
and we are already seeing strong product demand in many areas, notably timber which has been one of the main drivers for growth during the quarter. Managing product demand and supply will be a recurring
theme this year and the Construction Leadership Council, product availability group, which I co-chair, is issuing monthly updates to assist with forward planning.” <br>
<br>
<strong>Emile van der Ryst, Senior Client Insight Manager – Trade at GfK added:<br>
</strong><br> “To say the first quarter, and March in particular, has gone well is an understatement. It was not only the big hitters such as timber, bricks, aggregates, insulation, cement and plasterboard
reporting record sales, but also areas such as tool hire, plumbing equipment, power tools, hand tools, boilers, tanks and boiler accessories. Repair, maintenance and improvement is expected to be the main
driver during the first half of the year, and quite possibly beyond, which bodes well for the industry if supply can keep up with demand.”<br>

<h1>Haulage a priority for BMF</h1>
<br>
<strong>3 September 2021<br>
</strong><br>
<img src="/images/Events/Transport%20-%20Truck%20Driver%20400x287.jpg" alt="Haulage a priority for BMF" style="float: right; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 15px;" title="Haulage a priority for BMF">New data
from the BMF reveals the shortage of HGV drivers as the main challenge faced by its members, who are already performing a balancing act to keep the building materials supply chain running across the
UK. <br>
<br> A snap survey of BMF members found 67% of builders’ merchant respondents and 86% of supplier respondents are affected by haulage issues, citing it as their number one concern.<br>
<br> John Newcomb, BMF CEO said: <br>
<br> “Haulage, and in particular the shortage of HGV drivers, has become our industry’s number one concern, and the results of our member survey have been fed into discussions between the transport industry and
government.<br>
<br> “Some suppliers are reporting that the standard five-day lead time has more than doubled. In some cases, we are even seeing increases of up to four weeks. We have heard reports that suppliers are asking
merchants to collect orders as they cannot get enough drivers to complete deliveries.<br>
<br> “Driver recruitment is the main challenge. Both suppliers and merchants are prepared to recruit or retrain existing staff as drivers, but there are limited opportunities for training and testing.
They want more testing to be made available to help get new HGV drivers on the road.”<br>
<br> The issue is not confined to the building materials industry. The Covid-19 pandemic, Brexit and tax changes have contributed to haulage challenges, with transport industry bodies estimating a
shortfall of around 100,000 HGV drivers, with an estimated 15,000 lost following the UK’s exit from the EU.<br>
<br> Logistics UK’s May 2021 tracker survey found 61% of respondents considered recruitment of HGV drivers to be a ‘severe’ or ‘very severe’ challenge, while 50% cited the availability of testing as a
‘moderate’ or ‘extreme’ barrier to recovery.<br>
<br> John Newcomb added: <br>
<br> “Builders merchants have done a fantastic job managing product demand and supply in the face of high global demand and reduced capacity resulting from the pandemic. Haulage is the latest challenge and our
top priority. We are doing everything we can to assist discussions between the freight industry and government as they seek to agree both short and long term solutions.”<br>

<h1>Labour and product shortages putting pressure on the construction industry</h1>
<span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong><span style="font-size: 14px;">21 July 2021</span><img alt="" src="/images/News/CLC%20400x287.jpg"
style="border:1px solid #1f497d;float: right; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 15px;"><br>
</strong></span><br> Labour and product shortages are having a significant impact on the construction industry’s supply chain across the UK leading to delayed deliveries and rising prices.<br>
<br> An unprecedented demand for building products has been reported throughout the year, but the latest statement from the Construction Leadership Council’s Product Availability Group has identified a lack of
labour as a rising concern.<br>
<br> All regions are reporting that hauliers, HGV and LGV drivers are in short supply and very difficult to recruit. There are further issues with recruiting skilled and unskilled staff, including
experienced bricklayers and yard operatives, across the supply chain and these labour shortages are being exacerbated by the high number of staff being required to self-isolate after coming into contact with
someone who tested positive for Covid-19 and being ‘pinged’ by the NHS Test and Trace programme.<br>
<br> John Newcomb, CEO of the Builders Merchants Federation, and co-chair of the Construction Leadership Council’s Product Availability Group, said:<br>
<br> “The supply chain is extremely stretched on all fronts, but our members are pulling out the stops to keep supplies in branches and deliveries out to customers in very challenging. circumstances.<br>
<br> “Alongside pricing, stability and accuracy of supply remains the overarching concern and regular, accurate and transparent communication throughout the supply chain to the end client is deemed vital by
all. It is important that all parties recognise the extent of the extraordinary challenges we are currently experiencing and adopt a flexible and collaborative approach to finding solutions. <br>

<h1>Concerns over HGV driver shortages raised by construction trade body</h1>
<strong>14 July 2021</strong><br>
<br>
<img alt="" src="/images/News/BMF%20400x287.jpg" style="border:1px solid #1f497d;float: right; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 15px;">Transport issues are hitting suppliers to the construction trade, as
builders’ merchants work to get supplies into their stores and deliver orders to customers.<br>
<br> Members of national trade body the Builders Merchants Federation (BMF), have reported widespread disruption and delays, with a shortfall in drivers able to transport goods across the country.<br>
<br> Across the BMF membership, companies are recruiting and retraining existing staff into driving roles, but have reported difficulties sourcing new and replacement drivers, as well as struggling to secure
agency cover due to demand.<br>
<br> Limited test slots are also preventing staff from taking HGV driving tests, while holiday plans over the summer further reduce driver availability.<br>
<br> BMF East Midlands Regional Chairman, Jim Parlato, a Director at Browns Builders Merchant, said: “Drivers are our biggest concern at present.<br>
<br> “We have two of our warehouse and yard operatives taking their tests shortly but getting courses and booking tests has become an issue with demand meaning months of waiting.”<br>
<br> The issues are leading to extended lead times for some products, and even failed deliveries.<br>
<br> BMF South West Regional Chairman, David Young, of Bradfords Building Supplies, said: “We have 16 LGV driver vacancies at the moment. We’re struggling to recruit and also no agency cover is available due to
demand.<br>
<br> “The knock-on effect is lead times to our customers are extended by a day, from one-to-two days to two-to-three days.<br>
<br> “We do have 22 internal drivers being trained up but there are not enough test slots available so this is taking longer than normal.<br>
<br> “Suppliers to builders’ merchants have also been hit by the shortfall, resulting in restrictions on some products and failed deliveries at short notice.”<br>
<br> BMF Anglia Regional Chairman, Hugh Guntrip, of Huws Gray Ltd, added: “We are struggling to recruit new and replacement drivers within our merchant branches.<br>
<br> “The largest impact is on our suppliers resulting in product restrictions and failed incoming deliveries at very short notice.”<br>
<br> The BMF has 760 merchant and supplier member companies, who together have combined sales of £39bn and employ over 207,000 people in the building materials industry.<br>
<br> The issue comes as figures from The Road Haulage Association (RHA) show an existing deficit of 60,000 lorry drivers has been compounded by 15,000 European drivers leaving the UK and the cancellation of
30,000 HGV driving tests during the pandemic.<br>
<br> The BMF is now compiling information across its member network to share with Government and look towards a solution to address the issue.<br>
<br> BMF CEO, Mr John Newcomb said: “It is clear that there is a major deficit of HGV drivers and issues with training and supporting new recruits into the role, and this is now causing delayed deliveries and
rising costs across the UK.”<br>

<h1><span style="font-family: Arial;">BMF agrees group membership scheme with lightside specialist, Troy UK </span></h1>
<img alt="" src="https://www.bmf.org.uk/images/News/BMF%20logo%20with%20strapline%20400.jpg" style="border:1px solid #244061;float: right; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 15px;"><span
style="font-family: Arial;"><strong>3</strong></span><strong>0 May 2022<br>
</strong>
<br> The BMF has agreed a progressive group membership scheme with Troy UK, the tooling, workwear and industrial supplies buying group, beginning on June 1, 2022. <br>
<br> The agreement sees 22 Troy members joining the BMF immediately, with up to 50 more becoming BMF members in January 2023. The two organisations have a longer-term plan to bring more of Troy’s 400+
members into BMF membership over the next three years. <br>
<br> Originally established in 1986 to supply the engineering industry, Troy added hand and power tools to its offer in 1990 and this has become the core element of the Group’s business. Troy now provides
buying power on a range of products from more than 400 suppliers.<br>
<br> With a clear focus on supporting independent businesses, providing back-end service support and business solutions to help them scale and grow, the group’s revenue has grown tenfold to £300 million over
the past decade. Each of the first wave of Troy members joining the BMF has a turnover in excess of £5 million. Troy now has a five-year strategy targeting continued growth by supporting current members,
attracting new members and through further acquisitions. <br>
<strong><br> John Newcomb, BMF CEO said:</strong> “As the trade association for building materials distribution, encompassing specialist and generalist merchants of all sizes, we are delighted to announce our
latest partnership agreement with Troy UK. This not only expands our reach in the lightside market but will also enable a growing number of smaller, independent businesses to benefit from BMF training,
business services and representation with government. <br>
<strong><br> ”Paul Kilbride, Chairman/CEO Troy UK said:</strong>
<p>“Having worked closely with the BMF for the last 12 months, we are confident that this agreement successfully blends the complementary skill sets of our respective organisations. Our member profile has
changed dramatically from our early roots in engineering and is now spread across a diverse range of markets, with construction being one of the largest growth areas for our Group in both recent and future
years. Our new alliance and future collaboration with the leading trade body in the building supplies market will benefit all involved.”</p>

BMF AGREES GROUP MEMBERSHIP SCHEME WITH LIGHTSIDE SPECIALIST, TROY UK
30 May 2022
The BMF has agreed a progressive group membership scheme with Troy UK, the
tooling, workwear and industrial supplies buying group, beginning on June 1,
2022.
The agreement sees 22 Troy members joining the BMF immediately, with up to 50
more becoming BMF members in January 2023. The two organisations have a
longer-term plan to bring more of Troy’s 400+ members into BMF membership over
the next three years.
Originally established in 1986 to supply the engineering industry, Troy added
hand and power tools to its offer in 1990 and this has become the core element
of the Group’s business. Troy now provides buying power on a range of products
from more than 400 suppliers.
With a clear focus on supporting independent businesses, providing back-end
service support and business solutions to help them scale and grow, the group’s
revenue has grown tenfold to £300 million over the past decade. Each of the
first wave of Troy members joining the BMF has a turnover in excess of £5
million. Troy now has a five-year strategy targeting continued growth by
supporting current members, attracting new members and through further
acquisitions.
John Newcomb, BMF CEO said: “As the trade association for building materials
distribution, encompassing specialist and generalist merchants of all sizes, we
are delighted to announce our latest partnership agreement with Troy UK. This
not only expands our reach in the lightside market but will also enable a
growing number of smaller, independent businesses to benefit from BMF training,
business services and representation with government.
”Paul Kilbride, Chairman/CEO Troy UK said:
“Having worked closely with the BMF for the last 12 months, we are confident
that this agreement successfully blends the complementary skill sets of our
respective organisations. Our member profile has changed dramatically from our
early roots in engineering and is now spread across a diverse range of markets,
with construction being one of the largest growth areas for our Group in both
recent and future years. Our new alliance and future collaboration with the
leading trade body in the building supplies market will benefit all involved.”

TOP 100 INFLUENCERS SET TO JOIN IOBM MENTORING PLATFORM
25 May 2022
One hundred of the merchant industry’s leading influencers are set to play a key
role to advance the profession of merchanting. Having been rewarded by being
made Fellows of the Institute of Builders Merchants (FIOBM) at a gala dinner to
celebrate their contribution to the industry, they have been invited to join a
new Mentoring Platform and help others to shape their career.
The new IOBM Mentoring Platform has been designed to facilitate the
mentor-mentee relationship, by enabling access to industry resources and
suggesting suitable matches. The simple, easy to use platform is open to all
IOBM membership grades, from student through to fellows and corporate members.
The online-mentoring arrangement will enable both mentor and mentee to share or
gain a wealth of knowledge and will support the individual advancement of new
and diverse talent working in, or joining, the sector.
John Newcomb, CEO of the Builders Merchants Federation, which originated the
list of leading influencers, said: “The skills, knowledge and experience of this
wide-ranging group, comprising some of the most experienced individuals
currently working within the merchant industry, will be invaluable to the
mentoring programme. I am delighted to see the IOBM launch this initiative to
support younger colleagues, helping them to increase their knowledge and advance
their career.”
The Top 100 Merchant Influencers were welcomed into IOBM membership at an event
in May, which also raised £8,500 for BMF’s partner charity, Band of Builders.

PRICE INFLATION DRIVING SALES VALUE GROWTH AT P&H MERCHANTS IN Q1
19 May 2022
Figures released by the BMF in its latest Plumbing & Heating Merchants Index
(PHMI) shows that sales values in Q1 2022 increased by +2.9% against Q1 2021.
However, with sales volumes this year down by -5.5% on the same period last
year, any growth is entirely the result of price inflation (+8.9%).
Comparing the first quarter of 2022 with Q4 2021, and removing trading day
differences between the two periods, Q1 sales were down by 0.9%.
The P&H sector continues to be adversely affected by availability issues for
certain key products, in particular gas boilers, where supply has been delayed
by the global shortage of semi-conductors.
The data for the PHMI is taken solely from P&H specialists, including City
Plumbing Supplies, Graham, James Hargreaves Plumbing Deport, PTS and Wolseley,
who form part of GfK’s Plumbing & Heating Merchants Panel, and there is no
overlap or double counting between the PHMI and the BMF’s established Builders
Merchants Building Index which analyses sales at generalist merchants.

NEW TEAM ELECTED TO HEAD BMF YOUNG MERCHANTS
18 October 2021
Jo Callow, Head of Communications for UK & Ireland at Knauf Insulation is the
new Chair of the Builders Merchants Federation’s (BMF) Young Merchant Group. She
will be supported by Ed Parlato, Buyer at Browns Builders Merchants, who was
elected to replace Jo as Vice Chair.
Jo takes over from Glenn Paddison, who completed his term as Chair at the BMF
Young Merchant Conference held this year at the NEC, Birmingham during National
Construction Week and attended by 150 people.
Jo has been an active member of the Young Merchant Group for seven years,
serving as Vice Chair since 2018. She joined the Group after winning the BMF
Young Supplier Achiever Award in 2014, just a year after she entered the
building materials industry as a member of Knauf Insulation’s Merchant Support
Team. Jo continued to work closely with merchants in her subsequent roles at
Knauf Insulation as Area Sales Manager and National Merchant Support Manager.
She was promoted to her current role in 2020.
Jo is keen to continue developing the BMF Young Merchant’s work and influence.
She said:
“I am delighted and honoured to take on the role of Chair and looking forward to
working with Ed to build on all that Glenn achieved during his chairmanship. The
current drive to achieve net zero makes this a particularly exciting time,
offering even more opportunities for young people entering the industry. I know
from my own experience how the interaction within the Young Merchant Group helps
members as they build their careers. Our focus will be on delivering quality
events to support this.”
Vice Chair, Ed Parlato, is currently involved in the purchasing side of Browns
an independent, family run merchants in Derby, but has tackled many other roles
in the business over the years. He is also part of the NBG Category Management
team for tools and workwear.
Commenting on his appointment as Vice Chair, Ed said:
“The Young Merchant group has grown enormously in the past few years. When I
first joined there were 20 people at the meeting, the latest Conference had over
150. Every Chair has built on the work of the last and I’m looking forward to
working with Jo and supporting her over the next two years, and I will be
listening to members of the group to make sure their views are represented. If
the last 18 months has shown us anything, it is to expect the unexpected. I
always marvel at the intelligence and creativity of all the people in Young
Merchants, and I hope I can capture part of that to share with the wider
industry.”
The BMF Young Merchant Group supports merchants and suppliers aged between 18
and 40 in their career development. Membership is open to those holding a key
management position within their organisation. They benefit from twice yearly
meetings and networking events, and an annual fact-finding trip, normally
overseas.

industry by signing up a large number of its apprentices as student members.
More than 800 Travis Perkins apprentices joined the IOBM on 1 October 2021. New
apprentices joining Travis Perkins will also be given the opportunity to join
the Institute.
Student members benefit from the IOBM’s role as an independent accreditation
body and its structured framework for Continuing Professional Development (CPD).
Bi-annual conferences for student members are also planned and due to begin in
autumn 2022.
Unlike most employers, Travis Perkins is an accredited provider of
apprenticeships with over 40 apprenticeship programmes on offer, suited to a
wide range of candidates. These include existing employees who want to develop
their skills or build expertise in other areas as they progress to new roles, as
well as those joining the industry, either from school or university or
migrating over to an apprenticeship having joined the business from the
Government’s Kickstarter programme, or those switching from a former occupation
and joining the sector later in their careers.
Andy Rayner, Head of Apprenticeships and Early Careers for Travis Perkins Group,
said:
“We pride ourselves on providing a full range of apprenticeships from the branch
counter to the Boardroom. Our apprenticeships are designed to support existing
employees as well as individuals with no prior knowledge of our industry or our
business, to give them the skills they need to become valued colleagues.
“This is very much in line with the ethos of the IOBM and by introducing our
apprentices to the Institute as student members, they will be able to assess how
active membership can support them as they continue to develop their careers. We
asked our 1,000 apprentices if they wanted to become members of the IOBM and we
were delighted that the vast majority did.”
Announcing the news at the Builders Merchants Federation’s Young Merchant
Conference, BMF CEO, John Newcomb said:
“The IOBM Management Committee set a membership target of 1,000 new members by
the end of the year. With the support of Travis Perkins, we will achieve this by
the end of October.
“It is particularly encouraging to see the largest builders’ merchant in the UK
bringing such a significant number of new recruits to the industry into
membership. Through accreditation and CPD the IOBM has set out a pathway to
professionalism in the merchanting industry which can support them through their
entire career. We hope others will now follow this example.”
The IOBM merged with the BMF earlier this year and operates as a separate brand
of the BMF, with its own management body. The IOBM has a clear aim to become a
Chartered Institute, supporting the highest standards of professionalism within
the industry.

HAULAGE A PRIORITY FOR BMF
3 September 2021
New data from the BMF reveals the shortage of HGV drivers as the main challenge
faced by its members, who are already performing a balancing act to keep the
building materials supply chain running across the UK.
A snap survey of BMF members found 67% of builders’ merchant respondents and 86%
of supplier respondents are affected by haulage issues, citing it as their
number one concern.
John Newcomb, BMF CEO said:
“Haulage, and in particular the shortage of HGV drivers, has become our
industry’s number one concern, and the results of our member survey have been
fed into discussions between the transport industry and government.
“Some suppliers are reporting that the standard five-day lead time has more than
doubled. In some cases, we are even seeing increases of up to four weeks. We
have heard reports that suppliers are asking merchants to collect orders as they
cannot get enough drivers to complete deliveries.
“Driver recruitment is the main challenge. Both suppliers and merchants are
prepared to recruit or retrain existing staff as drivers, but there are limited
opportunities for training and testing. They want more testing to be made
available to help get new HGV drivers on the road.”
The issue is not confined to the building materials industry. The Covid-19
pandemic, Brexit and tax changes have contributed to haulage challenges, with
transport industry bodies estimating a shortfall of around 100,000 HGV drivers,
with an estimated 15,000 lost following the UK’s exit from the EU.
Logistics UK’s May 2021 tracker survey found 61% of respondents considered
recruitment of HGV drivers to be a ‘severe’ or ‘very severe’ challenge, while
50% cited the availability of testing as a ‘moderate’ or ‘extreme’ barrier to
recovery.
John Newcomb added:
“Builders merchants have done a fantastic job managing product demand and supply
in the face of high global demand and reduced capacity resulting from the
pandemic. Haulage is the latest challenge and our top priority. We are doing
everything we can to assist discussions between the freight industry and
government as they seek to agree both short and long term solutions.”

LEADERSHIP, DIVERSITY AND PERFORMANCE TO THE FORE AT BMF ALL INDUSTRY
CONFERENCE
4 August 2021
Nicky Moffat CBE, who was Britain’s highest ranking female Army officer,
retiring as a Brigadier after almost 30 years of service, is the latest speaker
to be confirmed for the BMF All Industry Conference in November.
Nicky’s expertise and insights as a leader are drawn from roles as a Recruitment
Training Commander, Training Regiment Commander and Director of her Branch of
the Army. Throughout, she led diverse mission-focused groups in an organisation
both steeped in tradition but subject to rapid and significant changes of
policy, technology and resources.
In her largest command, as brigadier, she led some 4,500 soldiers within the
Army’s personnel and finance function. More broadly, Nicky served in strategy,
policy, career management and finance roles in the Army’s Personnel Centre, Army
Headquarters and the Ministry of Defence.
She oversaw the Armed Forces Workforce Planning and Pay Review Programmes,
focusing on recruitment, retention and on valuing and supporting service
personnel financially for their work on operations.
She also advised Army board members on the retention and progression of female
talent, with a view to developing a more inclusive high-performing culture. In
2012, Nicky left the Army to set up What Good Leadership Looks Like. She now
helps companies develop their people and make transformative and sustainable
improvements in leadership and culture.
John Newcomb, BMF CEO said: “Nicky will give her perspective on the role of
strong leadership in driving inclusive change and optimum performance, in what
promises to be another fascinating session at the much -anticipated BMF All
Industry Conference.”
The sold-out, dual-centre BMF All Industry Conference is due to take place in
Harrogate and York from 4 to 7 November 2021. Further details are available on
the Conference website, www.bmfconference.co.uk The headline sponsor for the

NEW TEAM ELECTED TO HEAD BMF YOUNG MERCHANTS
18 October 2021
Jo Callow, Head of Communications for UK & Ireland at Knauf Insulation is the
new Chair of the Builders Merchants Federation’s (BMF) Young Merchant Group. She
will be supported by Ed Parlato, Buyer at Browns Builders Merchants, who was
elected to replace Jo as Vice Chair.
Jo takes over from Glenn Paddison, who completed his term as Chair at the BMF
Young Merchant Conference held this year at the NEC, Birmingham during National
Construction Week and attended by 150 people.
Jo has been an active member of the Young Merchant Group for seven years,
serving as Vice Chair since 2018. She joined the Group after winning the BMF
Young Supplier Achiever Award in 2014, just a year after she entered the
building materials industry as a member of Knauf Insulation’s Merchant Support
Team. Jo continued to work closely with merchants in her subsequent roles at
Knauf Insulation as Area Sales Manager and National Merchant Support Manager.
She was promoted to her current role in 2020.
Jo is keen to continue developing the BMF Young Merchant’s work and influence.
She said:
“I am delighted and honoured to take on the role of Chair and looking forward to
working with Ed to build on all that Glenn achieved during his chairmanship. The
current drive to achieve net zero makes this a particularly exciting time,
offering even more opportunities for young people entering the industry. I know
from my own experience how the interaction within the Young Merchant Group helps
members as they build their careers. Our focus will be on delivering quality
events to support this.”
Vice Chair, Ed Parlato, is currently involved in the purchasing side of Browns
an independent, family run merchants in Derby, but has tackled many other roles
in the business over the years. He is also part of the NBG Category Management
team for tools and workwear.
Commenting on his appointment as Vice Chair, Ed said:
“The Young Merchant group has grown enormously in the past few years. When I
first joined there were 20 people at the meeting, the latest Conference had over
150. Every Chair has built on the work of the last and I’m looking forward to
working with Jo and supporting her over the next two years, and I will be
listening to members of the group to make sure their views are represented. If
the last 18 months has shown us anything, it is to expect the unexpected. I
always marvel at the intelligence and creativity of all the people in Young
Merchants, and I hope I can capture part of that to share with the wider
industry.”
The BMF Young Merchant Group supports merchants and suppliers aged between 18
and 40 in their career development. Membership is open to those holding a key
management position within their organisation. They benefit from twice yearly
meetings and networking events, and an annual fact-finding trip, normally
overseas.

BMF AGREES GROUP MEMBERSHIP SCHEME WITH LIGHTSIDE SPECIALIST, TROY UK
30 May 2022
The BMF has agreed a progressive group membership scheme with Troy UK, the
tooling, workwear and industrial supplies buying group, beginning on June 1,
2022.
The agreement sees 22 Troy members joining the BMF immediately, with up to 50
more becoming BMF members in January 2023. The two organisations have a
longer-term plan to bring more of Troy’s 400+ members into BMF membership over
the next three years.
Originally established in 1986 to supply the engineering industry, Troy added
hand and power tools to its offer in 1990 and this has become the core element
of the Group’s business. Troy now provides buying power on a range of products
from more than 400 suppliers.
With a clear focus on supporting independent businesses, providing back-end
service support and business solutions to help them scale and grow, the group’s
revenue has grown tenfold to £300 million over the past decade. Each of the
first wave of Troy members joining the BMF has a turnover in excess of £5
million. Troy now has a five-year strategy targeting continued growth by
supporting current members, attracting new members and through further
acquisitions.
John Newcomb, BMF CEO said: “As the trade association for building materials
distribution, encompassing specialist and generalist merchants of all sizes, we
are delighted to announce our latest partnership agreement with Troy UK. This
not only expands our reach in the lightside market but will also enable a
growing number of smaller, independent businesses to benefit from BMF training,
business services and representation with government.
”Paul Kilbride, Chairman/CEO Troy UK said:
“Having worked closely with the BMF for the last 12 months, we are confident
that this agreement successfully blends the complementary skill sets of our
respective organisations. Our member profile has changed dramatically from our
early roots in engineering and is now spread across a diverse range of markets,
with construction being one of the largest growth areas for our Group in both
recent and future years. Our new alliance and future collaboration with the
leading trade body in the building supplies market will benefit all involved.”

25 May 2022
One hundred of the merchant industry’s leading influencers are set to play a key
role to advance the profession of merchanting. Having been rewarded by being
made Fellows of the Institute of Builders Merchants (FIOBM) at a gala dinner to
celebrate their contribution to the industry, they have been invited to join a
new Mentoring Platform and help others to shape their career.
The new IOBM Mentoring Platform has been designed to facilitate the
mentor-mentee relationship, by enabling access to industry resources and
suggesting suitable matches. The simple, easy to use platform is open to all
IOBM membership grades, from student through to fellows and corporate members.
The online-mentoring arrangement will enable both mentor and mentee to share or
gain a wealth of knowledge and will support the individual advancement of new
and diverse talent working in, or joining, the sector.
John Newcomb, CEO of the Builders Merchants Federation, which originated the
list of leading influencers, said: “The skills, knowledge and experience of this
wide-ranging group, comprising some of the most experienced individuals
currently working within the merchant industry, will be invaluable to the
mentoring programme. I am delighted to see the IOBM launch this initiative to
support younger colleagues, helping them to increase their knowledge and advance

PRICE INFLATION DRIVING SALES VALUE GROWTH AT P&H MERCHANTS IN Q1
19 May 2022
Figures released by the BMF in its latest Plumbing & Heating Merchants Index
(PHMI) shows that sales values in Q1 2022 increased by +2.9% against Q1 2021.
However, with sales volumes this year down by -5.5% on the same period last
year, any growth is entirely the result of price inflation (+8.9%).
Comparing the first quarter of 2022 with Q4 2021, and removing trading day
differences between the two periods, Q1 sales were down by 0.9%.
The P&H sector continues to be adversely affected by availability issues for
certain key products, in particular gas boilers, where supply has been delayed
by the global shortage of semi-conductors.
The data for the PHMI is taken solely from P&H specialists, including City
Plumbing Supplies, Graham, James Hargreaves Plumbing Deport, PTS and Wolseley,
who form part of GfK’s Plumbing & Heating Merchants Panel, and there is no
overlap or double counting between the PHMI and the BMF’s established Builders
Merchants Building Index which analyses sales at generalist merchants.

HAULAGE A PRIORITY FOR BMF
3 September 2021
New data from the BMF reveals the shortage of HGV drivers as the main challenge
faced by its members, who are already performing a balancing act to keep the
building materials supply chain running across the UK.
A snap survey of BMF members found 67% of builders’ merchant respondents and 86%
of supplier respondents are affected by haulage issues, citing it as their
number one concern.
John Newcomb, BMF CEO said:
“Haulage, and in particular the shortage of HGV drivers, has become our
industry’s number one concern, and the results of our member survey have been
fed into discussions between the transport industry and government.
“Some suppliers are reporting that the standard five-day lead time has more than
doubled. In some cases, we are even seeing increases of up to four weeks. We
have heard reports that suppliers are asking merchants to collect orders as they
cannot get enough drivers to complete deliveries.
“Driver recruitment is the main challenge. Both suppliers and merchants are
prepared to recruit or retrain existing staff as drivers, but there are limited
opportunities for training and testing. They want more testing to be made
available to help get new HGV drivers on the road.”
The issue is not confined to the building materials industry. The Covid-19
pandemic, Brexit and tax changes have contributed to haulage challenges, with
transport industry bodies estimating a shortfall of around 100,000 HGV drivers,
with an estimated 15,000 lost following the UK’s exit from the EU.
Logistics UK’s May 2021 tracker survey found 61% of respondents considered
recruitment of HGV drivers to be a ‘severe’ or ‘very severe’ challenge, while
50% cited the availability of testing as a ‘moderate’ or ‘extreme’ barrier to
recovery.
John Newcomb added:
“Builders merchants have done a fantastic job managing product demand and supply
in the face of high global demand and reduced capacity resulting from the
pandemic. Haulage is the latest challenge and our top priority. We are doing
everything we can to assist discussions between the freight industry and
government as they seek to agree both short and long term solutions.”

New data from the BMF reveals the shortage of HGV drivers as the main challenge
faced by its members, who are already performing a balancing act to keep the

PRICE INFLATION DRIVING SALES VALUE GROWTH AT P&H MERCHANTS IN Q1
19 May 2022
Figures released by the BMF in its latest Plumbing & Heating Merchants Index
(PHMI) shows that sales values in Q1 2022 increased by +2.9% against Q1 2021.
However, with sales volumes this year down by -5.5% on the same period last
year, any growth is entirely the result of price inflation (+8.9%).
Comparing the first quarter of 2022 with Q4 2021, and removing trading day
differences between the two periods, Q1 sales were down by 0.9%.
The P&H sector continues to be adversely affected by availability issues for
certain key products, in particular gas boilers, where supply has been delayed
by the global shortage of semi-conductors.
The data for the PHMI is taken solely from P&H specialists, including City
Plumbing Supplies, Graham, James Hargreaves Plumbing Deport, PTS and Wolseley,
who form part of GfK’s Plumbing & Heating Merchants Panel, and there is no
overlap or double counting between the PHMI and the BMF’s established Builders
Merchants Building Index which analyses sales at generalist merchants.

PRICE INFLATION OUTSTRIPS VOLUME GROWTH IN Q1 MERCHANT SALES
18 May 2021
The BMF’s Builder Merchants Building Index (BMBI) latest report on sales of
building materials in the UK, underscores the growing impact of price inflation
on the sector. The value of sales in the first quarter of 2022 was up by +17.7%
against Q1 2021. Almost all of this was driven by price increases with volume
rising by just +1.5%.
While the figures indicate a continuing demand for building materials, they also
confirm price inflation as a critical issue, with the impact of rising energy,
fuel and raw material costs on product price clear to see.
Q1 2022 vs Q1 2021
Drilling down to year-on-year performance comparisons for the three largest
product categories, the largest, Heavy Building Materials, increased +17.4% by
value, but +5.0% by volume. This category includes many energy-intensive
products, and bricks, blocks, cement, plasterboard and roofing products all saw
their highest quarterly prices to date.
Timber & Joinery products have been even more affected by fluctuating prices
over the past 12 months. Year on year results show sales value up by +21.4%,
with volume down by
-11.3%, a price increase of 36.9% over Q1 2021. However, this must be tempered
by the fact that Q1 2022 Timber & Joinery prices decreased by -6.7% against Q4
2021, which may indicate that prices in this category have already peaked.
Landscaping, one of the strongest performers throughout the pandemic, saw a
value increase of +14.4% against Q1 2021, with volumes down by -3.5%.
John Newcomb, CEO of the BMF said:
“Taken at first sight there are some astonishing value growth figures in this
quarter’s BMBI, but this must be tempered by the disparity between price and
volume growth. The supply chain was already facing uncertainty before the
outbreak of war in Ukraine. The conflict can only exacerbate this. Continuing
pressure on availability coupled with rising costs for raw materials, energy and
labour suggests that price inflation will be the main story of 2022.”
Emile van der Ryst, Senior Client Insight Manager – Trade at GfK added:
“Growth forecasts have been revised down across the world since Russia invaded
Ukraine at the end of February. At this stage it is difficult to make any
sensible prediction, but there’s an expectation that market conditions will
become increasingly more difficult as prices continue to rise and consumer spend
is stretched further and further.”

BUILDING MATERIALS SALES CONTINUE UPWARD GROWTH TREND
26 May 2021
The latest report from the BMF’s Builders Merchants Building Index (BMBI) shows
sales of building materials continuing their upward growth trend during Q1 2021.
One year on from the onset of the Covid pandemic, comparisons with Q1 2020
inevitably reference the initial fall in sales during the first lockdown period,
which began on 24 March 2020. The reality of the bounceback is impressive
nonetheless with Q1 2021 sales volumes continuing the upward trend seen in Q4
2020, and comparing well with the pre-Covid levels seen in Q1 2019.
Looking at Q1 2021 in detail, January was down -3.7% on the same month the
previous year, with February seeing annual growth of 2.3%. March however was a
record month for the industry, with sales increasing by 47.4% against March 2020
and by 23.0% against March 2019.
This results in overall Q1 growth of 15.1% against Q1 2020 and 6.0% against Q1
2019. The figures also confirm overall growth of 8.6% against Q4 2020, helped
by three more trading days in Q1. Average sales a day were up by 3.4%.
Q1 2021 vs Q1 2020
The strongest year on year performers were Landscaping, up by +41.4% on Q1 2020,
and Timber & Joinery (+30.5%). Sales of Tools increased by +15.9% year on year,
and were also up for the largest product group, Heavy Building Materials
(+10.3%) and Plumbing, Heating and Electrical products (+3.7%).
Workwear and Safetywear (-8.9%), one of the strongest performers a year ago when
PPE was in great demand, was one of only four categories to record a fall in
year on year sales for the quarter.
Q1 2021 vs Q1 2019
Comparing Q1 2021 with Q1 2019, Landscaping (+32.3%) and Timber & Joinery
(+15.8%) were again the strongest performers. Heavy Building Materials also
increased (+1.3%), but sales of Tools (-1.8%) and Plumbing Heating and
Electrical products (-4.4%) were both lower on the two year comparison.
Q1 2021 vs Q4 2020
A similar picture emerges when comparing quarter on quarter results. Sales
increased in 11 out of 12 categories in Q1 2021 vs Q4 2020, again led by
Landscaping (+26.2%) and Timber & Joinery (+12.9%), strongly supported by Tools
(+9.9%), Heavy Building Materials (+5.9%) and Plumbing, Heating & Electrical
(+5.9%).
Kitchens and Bathrooms was one of the few areas to record a fall in sales in Q1
2021 against all three comparators, at -2.1% vs Q4 2020, -1.8% vs Q1 2020 and
-6.7% vs Q1 2019. This may be due to showrooms being deemed non-essential
retail and closed during the period.
John Newcomb, CEO of the Builders Merchants Federation said:
“The first three months of the year may have seen the country once again in
lockdown but even this could not prevent a boom in construction activity. This
is an excellent start to the year and we are already seeing strong product
demand in many areas, notably timber which has been one of the main drivers for
growth during the quarter. Managing product demand and supply will be a
recurring theme this year and the Construction Leadership Council, product
availability group, which I co-chair, is issuing monthly updates to assist with
forward planning.”
Emile van der Ryst, Senior Client Insight Manager – Trade at GfK added:
“To say the first quarter, and March in particular, has gone well is an
understatement. It was not only the big hitters such as timber, bricks,
aggregates, insulation, cement and plasterboard reporting record sales, but also
areas such as tool hire, plumbing equipment, power tools, hand tools, boilers,
tanks and boiler accessories. Repair, maintenance and improvement is expected
to be the main driver during the first half of the year, and quite possibly
beyond, which bodes well for the industry if supply can keep up with demand.”

29 October 2021
With this year’s BMF All Industry Conference taking place at the same time as
the United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP26, the subject of

HAULAGE A PRIORITY FOR BMF
3 September 2021
New data from the BMF reveals the shortage of HGV drivers as the main challenge
faced by its members, who are already performing a balancing act to keep the
building materials supply chain running across the UK.
A snap survey of BMF members found 67% of builders’ merchant respondents and 86%
of supplier respondents are affected by haulage issues, citing it as their
number one concern.
John Newcomb, BMF CEO said:
“Haulage, and in particular the shortage of HGV drivers, has become our
industry’s number one concern, and the results of our member survey have been
fed into discussions between the transport industry and government.
“Some suppliers are reporting that the standard five-day lead time has more than
doubled. In some cases, we are even seeing increases of up to four weeks. We
have heard reports that suppliers are asking merchants to collect orders as they
cannot get enough drivers to complete deliveries.
“Driver recruitment is the main challenge. Both suppliers and merchants are
prepared to recruit or retrain existing staff as drivers, but there are limited
opportunities for training and testing. They want more testing to be made
available to help get new HGV drivers on the road.”
The issue is not confined to the building materials industry. The Covid-19
pandemic, Brexit and tax changes have contributed to haulage challenges, with
transport industry bodies estimating a shortfall of around 100,000 HGV drivers,
with an estimated 15,000 lost following the UK’s exit from the EU.
Logistics UK’s May 2021 tracker survey found 61% of respondents considered
recruitment of HGV drivers to be a ‘severe’ or ‘very severe’ challenge, while
50% cited the availability of testing as a ‘moderate’ or ‘extreme’ barrier to
recovery.
John Newcomb added:
“Builders merchants have done a fantastic job managing product demand and supply
in the face of high global demand and reduced capacity resulting from the
pandemic. Haulage is the latest challenge and our top priority. We are doing
everything we can to assist discussions between the freight industry and
government as they seek to agree both short and long term solutions.”

LABOUR AND PRODUCT SHORTAGES PUTTING PRESSURE ON THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY
21 July 2021
Labour and product shortages are having a significant impact on the construction
industry’s supply chain across the UK leading to delayed deliveries and rising
prices.
An unprecedented demand for building products has been reported throughout the
year, but the latest statement from the Construction Leadership Council’s
Product Availability Group has identified a lack of labour as a rising concern.
All regions are reporting that hauliers, HGV and LGV drivers are in short supply
and very difficult to recruit. There are further issues with recruiting skilled
and unskilled staff, including experienced bricklayers and yard operatives,
across the supply chain and these labour shortages are being exacerbated by the
high number of staff being required to self-isolate after coming into contact
with someone who tested positive for Covid-19 and being ‘pinged’ by the NHS Test
and Trace programme.
John Newcomb, CEO of the Builders Merchants Federation, and co-chair of the
Construction Leadership Council’s Product Availability Group, said:
“The supply chain is extremely stretched on all fronts, but our members are
pulling out the stops to keep supplies in branches and deliveries out to
customers in very challenging. circumstances.
“Alongside pricing, stability and accuracy of supply remains the overarching
concern and regular, accurate and transparent communication throughout the
supply chain to the end client is deemed vital by all. It is important that all
parties recognise the extent of the extraordinary challenges we are currently
experiencing and adopt a flexible and collaborative approach to finding
solutions.

CONCERNS OVER HGV DRIVER SHORTAGES RAISED BY CONSTRUCTION TRADE BODY
14 July 2021
Transport issues are hitting suppliers to the construction trade, as builders’
merchants work to get supplies into their stores and deliver orders to
customers.
Members of national trade body the Builders Merchants Federation (BMF), have
reported widespread disruption and delays, with a shortfall in drivers able to
transport goods across the country.
Across the BMF membership, companies are recruiting and retraining existing
staff into driving roles, but have reported difficulties sourcing new and
replacement drivers, as well as struggling to secure agency cover due to demand.
Limited test slots are also preventing staff from taking HGV driving tests,
while holiday plans over the summer further reduce driver availability.
BMF East Midlands Regional Chairman, Jim Parlato, a Director at Browns Builders
Merchant, said: “Drivers are our biggest concern at present.
“We have two of our warehouse and yard operatives taking their tests shortly but
getting courses and booking tests has become an issue with demand meaning months
of waiting.”
The issues are leading to extended lead times for some products, and even failed
deliveries.
BMF South West Regional Chairman, David Young, of Bradfords Building Supplies,
said: “We have 16 LGV driver vacancies at the moment. We’re struggling to
recruit and also no agency cover is available due to demand.
“The knock-on effect is lead times to our customers are extended by a day, from
one-to-two days to two-to-three days.
“We do have 22 internal drivers being trained up but there are not enough test
slots available so this is taking longer than normal.
“Suppliers to builders’ merchants have also been hit by the shortfall, resulting
in restrictions on some products and failed deliveries at short notice.”
BMF Anglia Regional Chairman, Hugh Guntrip, of Huws Gray Ltd, added: “We are
struggling to recruit new and replacement drivers within our merchant branches.
“The largest impact is on our suppliers resulting in product restrictions and
failed incoming deliveries at very short notice.”
The BMF has 760 merchant and supplier member companies, who together have
combined sales of £39bn and employ over 207,000 people in the building materials
industry.
The issue comes as figures from The Road Haulage Association (RHA) show an
existing deficit of 60,000 lorry drivers has been compounded by 15,000 European
drivers leaving the UK and the cancellation of 30,000 HGV driving tests during
the pandemic.
The BMF is now compiling information across its member network to share with
Government and look towards a solution to address the issue.
BMF CEO, Mr John Newcomb said: “It is clear that there is a major deficit of HGV
drivers and issues with training and supporting new recruits into the role, and
this is now causing delayed deliveries and rising costs across the UK.”

distribution, encompassing specialist and generalist merchants of all sizes, we
are delighted to announce our latest partnership agreement with Troy UK. This
not only expands our reach in the lightside market but will also enable a
growing number of smaller, independent businesses to benefit from BMF training,
business services and representation with government.
”Paul Kilbride, Chairman/CEO Troy UK said:
“Having worked closely with the BMF for the last 12 months, we are confident
that this agreement successfully blends the complementary skill sets of our
respective organisations. Our member profile has changed dramatically from our
early roots in engineering and is now spread across a diverse range of markets,

“Having worked closely with the BMF for the last 12 months, we are confident
that this agreement successfully blends the complementary skill sets of our
respective organisations. Our member profile has changed dramatically from our
early roots in engineering and is now spread across a diverse range of markets,

recent and future years. Our new alliance and future collaboration with the
leading trade body in the building supplies market will benefit all involved.”

TOP 100 INFLUENCERS SET TO JOIN IOBM MENTORING PLATFORM
25 May 2022
One hundred of the merchant industry’s leading influencers are set to play a key
role to advance the profession of merchanting. Having been rewarded by being
made Fellows of the Institute of Builders Merchants (FIOBM) at a gala dinner to
celebrate their contribution to the industry, they have been invited to join a
new Mentoring Platform and help others to shape their career.
The new IOBM Mentoring Platform has been designed to facilitate the
mentor-mentee relationship, by enabling access to industry resources and
suggesting suitable matches. The simple, easy to use platform is open to all
IOBM membership grades, from student through to fellows and corporate members.
The online-mentoring arrangement will enable both mentor and mentee to share or
gain a wealth of knowledge and will support the individual advancement of new
and diverse talent working in, or joining, the sector.
John Newcomb, CEO of the Builders Merchants Federation, which originated the
list of leading influencers, said: “The skills, knowledge and experience of this
wide-ranging group, comprising some of the most experienced individuals
currently working within the merchant industry, will be invaluable to the
mentoring programme. I am delighted to see the IOBM launch this initiative to
support younger colleagues, helping them to increase their knowledge and advance
their career.”
The Top 100 Merchant Influencers were welcomed into IOBM membership at an event
in May, which also raised £8,500 for BMF’s partner charity, Band of Builders.

PRICE INFLATION DRIVING SALES VALUE GROWTH AT P&H MERCHANTS IN Q1
19 May 2022
Figures released by the BMF in its latest Plumbing & Heating Merchants Index
(PHMI) shows that sales values in Q1 2022 increased by +2.9% against Q1 2021.
However, with sales volumes this year down by -5.5% on the same period last
year, any growth is entirely the result of price inflation (+8.9%).
Comparing the first quarter of 2022 with Q4 2021, and removing trading day
differences between the two periods, Q1 sales were down by 0.9%.
The P&H sector continues to be adversely affected by availability issues for
certain key products, in particular gas boilers, where supply has been delayed
by the global shortage of semi-conductors.
The data for the PHMI is taken solely from P&H specialists, including City
Plumbing Supplies, Graham, James Hargreaves Plumbing Deport, PTS and Wolseley,
who form part of GfK’s Plumbing & Heating Merchants Panel, and there is no
overlap or double counting between the PHMI and the BMF’s established Builders
Merchants Building Index which analyses sales at generalist merchants.
