Baljit Singh, Head of Trading at NMBS, has been elected as Chair of a revamped Builders Merchants Federation product category forum, which brings together essential lightside categories to form the BMF Plumbing, Heating, and Bathroom Forum.
With an 18-year track record, Baljit brings a wealth of industry experience, in-depth sector knowledge, and a proven history of collaboration across the merchant and supplier landscape. Under his leadership, the BMF “looks forward to continuing the Forum’s development, supporting innovation, tackling key challenges, and promoting growth within this vital sector.”
The newly expanded Forum, which was confirmed at the group’s recent meeting at the Installer Show in Birmingham, was established to “reflect the evolving needs of the industry, embracing Plumbing and Heating alongside the Bathroom category, to ensure even greater relevance, representation and reach.”
Congratulating Baljit on his appointment, BMF CEO John Newcomb said: “Taking over the Chair, Baljit follows in the footsteps of some outstanding industry figures, namely Mark Bradley of Plumbase and Ray Stafford of Williams Trade Supplies – who between them have chaired the Plumbing & Heating Forum since 2018 – and Paul Bence of the Bence Group, who chaired the former Bathroom & Kitchen Forum.
“We look forward to Baljit helping steer the Forum into its next chapter with the same energy, insight and impact we’ve seen from his predecessors.”
