Mark Bradley, managing director of plumbers merchant Plumbase, is taking  over as Chair of the Builders Merchants Federation’s Plumbing & Heating Forum in November.

Bradley’s background in sales and operations included early roles in retail before moving into the trade sector, with roles at Dulux Decorator Centres, BSS Group, Buck & Hickman and Brammer Group as well as Plumbase.

BMF CEO, John Newcomb said: “Plumbing & Heating was our first specialist Forum, set up four years ago to reflect the importance of this sector.  It is now the fastest growing area of BMF membership.  Mark Bradley takes over the role of Forum Chair from Keith Jones formerly of Wolseley, who I would like to thank for his excellent contribution in furthering the Forum’s success after it was established under our initial Chair, Ron Walker of HPS.”
