The British Woodworking Federation (BWF) is the trade association for the woodworking and joinery manufacturing industry in the UK. It has over 500 members drawn from manufacturers, distributors and installers of timber doors, windows, conservatories, staircases, furniture, all forms of architectural joinery including shop fitting, timber frame buildings and engineered timber components, as well as suppliers to the industry. The woodworking sector as a whole is a £3.8 billion industry operating at the heart of UK manufacturing.
The British Woodworking Federation (BWF) is proud to support the Big Construction Diversity Challenge 2025. The construction industry is facing a skills shortage, and only by investing in an equal, diverse, and inclusive workforce will we be able to meet the current demands. The BWF actively promotes the need for inclusivity and diversity in the workplace, ensuring our industry continues to attract and retain the professionals needed to provide products and services within the woodworking and joinery manufacturing sector, as well as contribute to wider global issues such as carbon zero targets.
