The BMF Sector Awareness Programme Working Group – 'Making a Material Difference' together.
We’ve been working hard, getting ready for the the soft launch of the programme to BMF members at JCB Rocester, on 30th April.
For the last 18 months now, I've had the great privilege of working with this exceptional group of people! Together with the BMF team, Jeremy Harris, Anu Singh, we’ve been shaping the strategy that will put Building Materials on the map, for the first time.
It's been quite a journey: researching the barriers we need to overcome to attract top talent and new entrants into the sector. Defining what makes our sector unique and articulating those powerful USPs that have never been promoted in a coordinated way before. Developing the brand, creative and communications strategy that will make our 'invisible' sector visible and create clear pathways into it. And understanding the needs of the BMF's wide range of members, from merchants to manufacturers and service providers, creating a programme that strengthens the sector for all.
None of this would have been possible without the enthusiasm and expert guidance provided by the Working Group, in the photo, left to right:
