The BMF (Builders Merchants Federation) has appointed Martin Stables, CEO of the Independent Builders Merchant Group (IBMG), as a Board Advisor.
Stables joined the Independent Builders Merchant Group as CCO in 2021, following over 20 years in the industry with Saint-Gobain’s Merchanting brands. He was appointed CEO in 2022, and heads a management team overseeing one of the most successful merchant groups in southern England, which has seen rapid growth from a combination of M&A, new branch openings, and organic growth since 2018.
In addition to its board of directors, the BMF may appoint non-voting advisors to strengthen the advice available to it on merchant, supplier, regional or specialist issues.
Richard Hill, BMF Chairman, said: “The evolving ownership structure in the merchant sector makes it important for the BMF to reflect this in its own board. Therefore, we are delighted to welcome Martin as a Board Advisor.
“He brings a wealth of experience in this area that will help inform BMF activities as we continue to drive innovation and growth in support of our members.”
