National trade body The Builders Merchants Federation (BMF) and Builders’ Merchants News (BMN), have joined forces to identify the Top 100 Young Achievers across the multi-billion-pound building materials sector and shine a light on the brightest stars of the future.
Jack Herbert, Key Account Manager at Talasey, based in Bournemouth, has been nominated for the accolade based on his achievements within his career so far and having a positive impact in the sector.
He said:
“It is an honour to have been nominated for the BMF Top 100 Young Achievers in my 10th year within the construction sector. I am proud to represent Talasey Landscaping Solutions and would like to extend thanks to all my colleagues and customers. I look forward to celebrating with all of the nominees in May.”
The Top 100 Young Achievers programme follows last year’s Top 100 Merchant Influencers and Top 100 Supplier Influencers in 2022 and 2023.
John Newcomb, Chief Executive of the BMF, said:
“The BMF is an active supporter of young people working within the building materials supply sector and this initiative celebrates the contributions of those who will carry the industry forward in the future and work to make a material difference. After the success of our previous initiatives, we’re delighted to be partnering with BMN to highlight the achievements of the Top 100 Young Achievers. This accolade reflects the positive influence Jack has had on the people around him and the wider building materials industry.”
The Top 100 Young Achievers will feature in a commemorative brochure and be invited to a Gala Dinner celebration and networking event at the Belfry in May.
