John Newcomb, BMF CEO said: “This is a hugely exciting venture for the BMF. Branch Managers are the lynchpin of the industry and this forum is designed specifically for them. We are lining up a fantastic range of speakers to stimulate new thinking and galvanise action when delegates return to their branches.”
The BMF has brought together an impressive range of industry experts to share their knowledge on a wide variety of branch-related subjects, including:
- Manager's Role in Health & Safety
- Increasing Sales Margins
- Diversity, Equality & Better Banter / Employment
- Leadership and Management
- Marketing at Branch Manager Level
- Product Masterclasses
The 2 day event will conclude with a truly inspirational speech from Retired Lieutenant Colonel Stewart Hill. Stewart will deliver an amazing insight into his achievements where he reflects the significance of teamwork, trust and communication and how life's obstacles can be met head on and overcome.
The BMF Branch Managers Forum is supported by some of the industry’s biggest names.
