NMBS and the Building Materials Golf Society (BMGS) have announced the introduction of a new all-industry golf event to take place on 30 April, 2015.

Golf in the builders' merchant industry has a long tradition for both merchants and manufacturers and the timing seemed right to introduce a high profile industry event, which could draw on the long established traditions of the BMGS and the strength and experience of NMBS as a provider of premium events and conferences.

Aimed at anyone with the potential to become a member of the BMGS, including manufacturers and both national and independent merchant employees, this event will take place at the Berkshire Golf Club.

Full details will be sent out early in the New Year, but will include an invite to all existing members of the BMGS and NMBS membership.

Demand is expected to be very high from both merchant golfers and suppliers, so watch out for more details in due course for what NMBS and BMGS hope will become the premier annual golf event for the industry.

Nick Walley of BMGS said: "We are very keen to grow the membership of the BMGS and saw a real opportunity to work with NMBS on delivering a new high profile all-industry event that promotes the real values and opportunities from manufacturers and merchants playing golf together."

Anyone wishing to express an early interest are invited to contact NMBS events manager Sam Hunt at sam.hunt@nmbs.co.uk.
