The
Builders Merchants Federation (BMF) has launched another Regional Centre of
Excellence at Talasey Group’s HQ in Doncaster.
Designed
to give BMF members in the local area access to BMF training and events closer
to home, Regional Centres of Excellence have been quick to open at various
locations across the UK.
The
launch of a centre at Talasey Group, not only emphasises the network’s
significant growth in the past year but also provides BMF members based in and
around Yorkshire with a convenient facility, from which to attend events and
training.
One of
the UK’s leading independent suppliers of landscaping solutions, Talasey Group
offer a diverse and innovative brand portfolio, acting as a ‘one-stop-shop’ for
all landscaping needs.
Last summer, the company launched their very own training
facility, TalaseyTraining Academy (TTA). With a range of City
& Guilds accredited training courses, the TTA helps landscape
professionals, apprentices, students and merchants build confidence, skills and
knowledge and get the most out of materials.
John Newcomb, BMF Chief Executive, said: “The centre was opened at our
BMF Young Merchants meeting on the 19th February. This is an
excellent centre that is well used by Talasey’s clients. We are extremely
grateful that they are opening the centre to our members too, as localisation
is an important strategy for the BMF. We look forward to holding future
meetings and training courses here for members in the region.”
Malcolm
Gough, Group Sales and Marketing Director at Talasey Group said: “As an
extension of our commitment to the landscaping and building industry, we
recently opened Talasey Training Academy. With an abundance of facilities and
equipment, the space will lend itself well to BMF training and events. We can’t
wait to welcome BMF members and support the ongoing development of industry
professionals!”
