BWF Business Development
and Mentoring Scheme
Exceeds Demand
Joinery manufacturing and
woodworking businesses
have seized the opportunity
for places on a new business
development and mentoring
programme from the British
Woodworking Federation
(BWF).
The programme has been
brought about by the BWF’s
Woodworking Industry Training
Forum (WITForum), with
funding from the Construction
Industry Training Board (CITB),
in response to a joinery industry
skills gap analysis undertaken by
BWF last year. The programme
– worth £3,000 for each member
firm – provides companies with
one-to-one mentoring and
training workshops delivered by
an industry experienced business
development consultant.
Participating firms receive a
total of six face-to-face mentoring
sessions with a business
development expert who will take
an in-depth look at the company
and give guidance on how to
overcome barriers to growth.
