The Builders Merchants Federation has launched its second Regional Centre of Excellence in the North West, at Sentinel Performance Solutions' facility in Warrington.

Matt Haines, BMF regional manager West Midlands, North West and North Wales, attended the launch with Sentinel's trade marketing director Neil Davies, and trade marketing manager Daniel Cheung.

BMF members around the country have welcomed the new regional centres, which will give them access to BMF training and events on their doorstep.

Speaking at the launch, Neil Davies said: "Sentinel is proud to be partnering with the BMF. At Sentinel we look forward to working with the BMF as we seek to educate and inspire the next generation of builders' merchants to meet the challenges of the rapidly changing construction industry."

Mr Haines added: "The BMF is very appreciative of Sentinel allowing the BMF to use the impressive facilities at their Warrington Offices, very conveniently located five minutes off the M62, to become a second Centre of Excellence in the North West Region. We very much look forward to welcoming members to the venue when the BMF Regional Meeting is held there on 4 October, 2017."
