JG Speedfit has been awarded membership of the Builders Merchants Federation (BMF). Membership of the BMF entitles associates to a number of benefits including access to relevant industry reports, expert advice on how to maximise profitability and operational excellence and free legal guidance.
Matt Fletcher, Divisional Manager at JG Speedfit, explained: “As global leaders in Push-Fit Fittings and Pipe, JG Speedfit is committed to ensuring absolute best practice across all areas of our business. To have been made a member of the BMF following an independent audit is testament to our culture of operational excellence. Our customers can therefore be assured that they will receive industry-leading support from JG Speedfit as we aim to lead the way in terms of customer service, financial best practice and manufacturing excellence.”
To be eligible for membership, merchants and suppliers need to meet a range of criteria relating to stock management, financial performance and a number of other operational metrics including store layout, provision of credit to customers and customer service. In addition, members must have a structured trading policy within the industry and JG Speedfit was awarded BMF membership after it demonstrated full compliance with the above selection criteria.
The BMF works in close collaboration with government authorities and further education institutions to promote best practice and continuous professional development across the industry and among its members. Partners are wide and varied, ranging from small independent businesses to national groups.
