ALISON APPOINTED REGIONAL CHAIRMAN OF BUILDERS GROUP

15 September 2007

The director of Bootle-based Triangle Builders Limited has been appointed regional chairman of trade body the National Federation of Builders (NFB). 

Alison Perry, who has been a member of the NFB for 10 years, takes over from Stephen Morris – head of Cruden Construction Ltd. 

Triangle was established in 1972 and the nature of its’ works over the years remain unchanged.  Their main activities include new-build, design & build, refurbishment, repairs and maintenance, the main focus being on domestic properties especially social housing and shared ownership opportunities.

Commenting on the appointment, Alison said: “Today’s construction industry is almost unrecognisable from when I first joined it. The NFB has actively helped contractors like us embrace that change, ensuring we continue to play an active role in our chosen markets, specifically through training and advisory services.
 
“The industry continues to witness unprecedented change - with newer issues like sustainability, waste management and zero carbon construction posing a challenge for thousands of firms. This is why the organisation is as relevant today as it was when I first joined it. Only by accessing dedicated support can the industry help to tackle these issues and evolve their businesses.”

The NFB represents small and medium sized contractors in England and Wales. It recently reported its strongest set of financial results to date, delivering an eight per cent growth in sales to more than £3.5m for the 12 months to December 2006. It operates a regional network of seven offices and employs 40 staff.
 
The Federation, which was established 15 years ago, is the largest constituent member of the Construction Confederation. Its roots date back to the late 19th century when it was founded as one of the first employer’s organisations for construction.
