Developing a unique community to develop and inspire younger members - introduction by Theo Spyrou.
The Builders Merchants' Federation has recognised the need to create a community to engage with their younger members. With this in mind, the Young Merchants group was set up, designed to identify and develop future leaders.
Membership is by selection and benefits include networking groups, site visits and education trips and the group is serviced by a dedicated member of staff. James Spillane will explain the thinking behind creating this group, the benefits as seen by the BMF and the Young Merchant members and the longer-term benefits for engagement and retention.
