The Build Chain is pleased to announce it has joined the National Federation of Builders<\/a> (NFB) as an Associate member.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NFB represents builders, contractors and housebuilders across England and Wales. As one of the UK\u2019s longest standing trade bodies, it was created to represent the building profession and to promote conditions its members need to thrive and contribute to the economic success of the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NFB Associate members recognise the value NFB provides and aim to add further value to the construction industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A number of contractors and housebuilders are already using The Build Chain online procurement platform to increase efficiency, meet sustainability goals, and reduce costs. By joining NFB, we hope to assist more organisations and continue transforming the way our industry operates in a positive way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neil Sheldon, CEO at The Build Chain, said: \u201cWorking with industry bodies provides direct access to the wider construction industry ensuring we are continually providing leading solutions that improve efficiency for our customers and their members.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of our membership with NFB, we will be sponsoring the Southern Local Heroes category at the 2023 Top 100 Influential Women in Construction Awards<\/a>. We look forward to meeting with our industry peers in October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
