POLICY OUTLOOK

The BMF published its “BMF Policy Outlook” that makes the case for merchants, manufacturers and suppliers - and sets out our ‘asks’ of parliaments and governments in terms of policy, regulation, taxation and public spending. 

“BMF Policy Outlook” is the fourth document we have produced in recent years. The primary audience is politicians, elected members, civil servants and public officials at all levels of government - from the UK national level down to local councils. Many of them have little or no grasp of the role, value and importance of the building materials’ supply chain - or the BMF itself - in delivering for customers and communities. 

We believe the single most pressing problem is the need to boost output, employment and education levels in less-well performing regions, compared to London and the South East: the so-called ‘productivity puzzle’. 

“BMF Policy Outlook” is sent to ministers, devolved administrations, metro-mayors and local authority leaders to lobby for business-friendly conditions for our members. It signals our willingness to work in partnership with government on the construction, housing & home improvement and employment issues we collectively face. 

We will reinforce our lobbying at the Party Political Conferences around the country.
