We have joined the British Woodworking Federation, to secure our place as one of the top UK hardware supplier and distributors in the timber industry and support our joinery customers.

 

All British Woodworking Federation members are accredited by the organisation so that customers looking for woodworking suppliers and joinery supplies can be assured that they are great companies to work with.

 

The BWF aims to help:

 

  • – Encourage growth in the woodworking industry
  • – Help members to comply with the latest regulations
  • – Offer expert technical advice
  • – Provide helpful back up for businesses
  • – Give our customers confidence in our services

How Does Being A Member Make Sealco a Better Hardware Supplier?

There are plenty of benefits to joining the scheme, including access to accreditation schemes which help to reassure our customers that our products and service are at the very top of the game.

 

By being a member, we agree to adhere to the BWF’s Code of Conduct – an 8-point assessment process to encourage good practice and standards. It covers:

 

  • – Customer care – what kind of service we deliver to customers and how we respond to complaints, if we receive them
  • – Technical expertise and training – ensuring that our team has all the skills to help you in the best way possible
  • – Environmental impact – how we deal with waste management and ensure that our business has as little negative effect on the environment as possible
  • – Financial stability – making sure we have a solid business in order to offer you reliable joinery supplies and timber door and window hardware
  • – Full insurance cover – what it says on the tin
  • – Clarity of contractual dealings – making sure we operate in a fair and honest way with our customers
  • – Compliance – with everything from employment, health and safety, environmental and educational legislation

BWF also makes sure that we have access to other accreditation schemes, like ISO standards which offer extra reassurance to customers that we’re dedicated to offering top quality window and door hardware.

 

Membership also gives us loads of updates and extra information on new legislation or changes to existing codes of practice, so in turn we can keep our customers up-to-date with the very latest news. And it keeps us in the loop about the newest innovations, so we can make sure we’re offering the newest and best products for you as well as top hardware advice.

 

British Woodworking Federation Members Day

The British Woodworking Federation holds members’ days where installers, fabricators and hardware suppliers can get together to learn about the latest news. The last one was held in July and there was loads of information on offer to members.

 

The latest was held on 7 July and our Timber Sales Manager Tom McGovern went down to see what was on offer.

 

BWF technical experts discussed all sorts of subjects, including CE marking in fire doorsets, the growing trend for wood being used for interior design and practical business advice too.

 

BWF Hardware Supplier

Our BWF membership means that we’re committed to being one of the very best timber hardware suppliers. Combined with our other accreditations and standards, we hope that this will further reassure our customers that we strive to offer the best service possible to Sealco customers.
