bwf - british woodworking federation
The British Woodworking Federation is the trade association for the woodworking
and joinery manufacturing industry in the UK. We have over 700 members drawn
from manufacturers, distributors and installers of timber doors, windows,
conservatories, staircases, furniture, all forms of bespoke, interior and
architectural joinery as well as suppliers to the industry. The woodworking
sector as a whole is a £3.8 billion industry operating at the heart of UK
manufacturing. The Federation strives to provide the best possible service to
our members and to ensure that service represents the best value for their
subscription fee. Central to the BWF is our Code of Conduct, against which all
members are audited. We believe this is the basis of our success in recruiting
and retaining quality members; it drives us on towards achieving our ambition to
be the trade association of choice for every woodworking enterprise in the UK.
Our focus is on ‘Building it Better with Wood’, promoting the inherent
advantages of wood and helping our members to achieve more around our themes of
healthy, sustainable, productive and safe ways of working. The BWF is also a
community and brings together individuals and companies within the industry to
share problems and experiences and find solutions together. We offer regular
opportunities for members to rub shoulders with their competitors and suppliers,
whether formally in our technical and market focused meetings and working
groups, or informally at BWF Social events.
