Over the last few months we have been refining our own brand offering and you may have been hearing more about our Tradeline drywall solutions and our Sektor suspended ceiling products as a result. We want to give our customers plenty of choice to help meet their specific budget and project requirements and these two CCF brands are an important part of our extensive product range. You can find out more about Sektor and Tradeline here.

The football may not have come home this summer but we are thrilled to welcome Martyn Rolfe back to CCF! Martyn has joined our technical department as our new technical services manager but many of you may remember him from when he previously worked as part of CCF’s insulation team. Martyn brings with him nearly 30 years’ experience and extensive technical knowledge of a wide range of interior building products, specialising in insulation, fire protection, ceilings and drywall. Together with the wider team, this new appointment is helping us to continue to provide technical expertise you can rely on and we are delighted to have Martyn back on board.

We’re committed to delivering first class service to all our customers but this can only be done by supporting our biggest asset – our people. We are consistently working towards our goal of ‘everyone going home safe and well, every single day’, and as part of this, each of our regions have dedicated safety groups that regularly meet. Our Stay Safe Groups help us identify, and solve, any potential issues and also educate and empower our team members so they have the knowledge they need to keep themselves, and others, safe. Each branch is regularly assessed and we are extremely proud that a number of our branches, including all five of our branches in Scotland, achieved the maximum possible scores in a recent audit.

With sustainability always at the top of the construction industry’s agenda, we have recently got involved with The Pallet LOOP - a circular economy pallet supplier which is working with leading manufacturers to reduce reliance on using traditional timber pallets to transport and distribute building products. Already the distinctive green reusable pallets have been spotted up and down our UK branch network thanks to our supply chain partner British Gypsum, which is the first building materials manufacturer in the UK to team up with The Pallet LOOP.
