The British Furniture Confederation Members' Conference

The British Furniture Confederation

Wednesday 8th October 2008

Furniture Makers Hall, 12 Austin Friars, London, EC2N 2HE


This free conference is open to FIRA members’ senior executives, especially those who would like to add weight to, and influence, the industry’s political interaction with Government.

The event aims to keep industry informed of the issues that the BFC is progressing on its behalf and for the BFC executive to receive feedback from the attendees.

The BFC acts a single voice for UK furniture and bed manufacturers and its strategy is coordinated by the industry’s leading trade bodies and the GMB.

Its mission is to ensure that the UK furniture industry has a strong and sustainable dialogue with Government in order to understand and influence changes in the market.
