About The British Woodworking Federation 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, all forms of architectural joinery including shopfitting, timber frame buildings and engineered timber components, as well as suppliers to the industry. The total turnover of the BWF's manufacturing membership in 2005 was approximately £617 million. The Federation strives to provide the best possible service to its members and to ensure that service represents the best value for their subscription fee. We believe this is the basis of our success in recruiting and retaining members; it drives us on towards achieving our ambition to be the trade association of choice for every woodworking enterprise in the UK. The BWF brings together individuals and companies within the industry to share problems and experiences and find solutions together. We offer regular opportunities for members to rub shoulders with their competitors and suppliers, whether formally in Federation Committees, or informally at BWF Social events. The BWF promotes its members, their products and the woodworking and joinery industry as a whole using a variety of media. The modern market for joinery products demands more from a joinery manufacturer than simply the traditional craft skills. Increasingly, companies have to prove their products meet independent standards to satisfy their customers and remain competitive. Our Total Support Services can help, offering a range of additional services intended to support our members through the complexities of meeting these demands. We want to become a single point through which a joinery business can seek help and support to improve itself, its processes and its production.
Publications The BWF produces a wide range of publications to support its members and the joinery industry. Many of these are available as downloadable documents on the British Woodworking Federation website, others are available to purchase. BWF members receive a copy of most publications as part of their membership subscription fee; further copies can be ordered from the BWF. Members also receive a discount on the publications that are available for purchase.

The BWF runs a variety of events throughout the year. All are open to members, some are also open to non-members.
