Federation of Master Builders (FMB)
The Big Construction Diversity Challenge
The Federation of Master Builders (FMB) is the UK’s largest trade association for the construction industry. We have a proud history of supporting and promoting small and medium-sized building companies – including sole traders – across England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales, since we were established in 1941.
We are champions of quality construction work and we advocate for continuous improvement in building standards.
We provide a wide range of business support services to help Master Builders to promote, protect and grow their business. We connect clients with professional, local builders they can trust. We build better as an industry through collaboration with government and industry partners.
"The Federation of Master Builders is proud to support The Big Construction Diversity Challenge because creating a more diverse and inclusive construction industry is essential to its future success. The event promotes collaboration, innovation, and opportunity across the sector, while helping to attract and retain talent from all backgrounds. By bringing together businesses, apprentices, and industry leaders, the challenge demonstrates the positive impact that equality, diversity, and inclusion can have on workplace culture, skills development, and long-term sustainability. Supporting initiatives like this reflect the FMB’s commitment to building a stronger, more representative industry for the next generation."
