Top 100 Young Achievers celebrated across the Building Materials sector
National trade body The Builders Merchants Federation (BMF) and Builders’ Merchants News (BMN), have joined forces to identify the Top 100 Young Achievers across the multi-billion-pound Building Materials sector, and shine a light on the brightest stars of the future.
The Top 100 Young Achievers 2024 programme follows last year’s Top 100 Merchant Influencers and Top 100 Supplier Influencers in 2022 and 2023.
John Newcomb, Chief Executive of the BMF, said: “The BMF is an active supporter of young people working within the Building Materials supply sector and this initiative celebrates the contributions of those who will carry the industry forward in the future and work to make a material difference.
After the success of our previous initiatives, we’re delighted to be partnering with BMN to highlight the achievements of the Top 100 Young Achievers.
The accolade reflects the positive influence these 100 achievers have on the people around them and on the wider building materials industry.”
The Top 100 Young Achievers will feature in a commemorative brochure and be invited to a Gala Dinner celebration and networking event at the Belfry in May.
