BWF Members’ Day 2010 For those who were unable to attend all of their required workshops

This year’s Members’ Day focused on how the joinery and woodworking industry can set itself up for the recovery by making the most of the business opportunities of the carbon agenda.  The day featured a range of comprehensive workshops, key-note speakers, a chance to see a range of products and services in the exhibition, and an opportunity to network with BWF members’ and staff. Attendees reported that attending Members’ Day was worthwhile and provided an ideal opportunity to see BWF activities at first hand, meet other members and industry suppliers and colleagues – and be equipped & ready for the changes ahead.
