BMF shortlisted for Best Trade Association Award

The BMF (Builders Merchants Federation) has been shortlisted for the Best Trade Association Award for the second consecutive year in the prestigious Memcom Excellence Awards, which recognise innovation and creativity in UK Trade Associations and Professional Membership Organisations.

Best Trade Association is one of two Memcom category nominations the BMF achieved this year.  The 2025 BMF All Industry Conference in Barcelona was also shortlisted for the Best Non-Celebratory Event Award.

This is a significant achievement as the Memcom Awards attract a huge number of entries from a diverse range of membership organisations, from professional bodies and trade associations to learned societies and charities.

BMF CEO John Newcomb said:

“We are once again honoured to see our efforts recognised by our peers in the membership community. Our goal is to ensure that our members gain real value from their membership, and I am proud that the dedication of the entire BMF team has been acknowledged with our nomination as the Best Trade Association.

“I am also delighted that the impact of the BMF All Industry Conference has been recognised in these Awards. It exemplifies the BMF’s role at the heart of the industry, creating a platform for collaboration that extends beyond day-to-day business interactions.”

The Award winners will be announced on 24 September 2026 at a ceremony in London.
