And there is no shortage of fabricators willing to take shortcuts &#8211; either with their staff safety or with the quality of your worktops, or both. By grouping together to set high standards and hold each other to account, the WFF hopes to raise standards. Specifically, the Federation hopes to provide some assurance to the public that, when you buy from a WFF member company, you will get good, honest advice, an installation which keeps an eye on safety and the environment, and a sense that you are getting a quality product and service, and not using cowboys or fly-by-nights.<\/p>\n<p>The WFF was formally launched at the KBB Show in Birmingham in March 2020.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;30px&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;38720&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;30px&#8221;][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<strong>The Worktop Fabricators Federation &#8211; Objectives<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Networking<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; Develop relationships between members to exchange knowledge and experience.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Improve Health &amp; Safety<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Reduce dangerous working environments.\u00a0Promote a pro-active approach to safety in the industry<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Supplier Interaction\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 To develop a constructive dialogue between suppliers and fabricators for the good of the industry<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Encourage Best Practice<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 To reduce on-site work, \u00a0mechanise workshops and encourage training<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Industry Training\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 Introduce sector-specific training &amp; E-Learning<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Become a Recognised Brand<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Trusted by other bodies &amp; Government, seen to be proactive, progressive and credible.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Grow Business<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Promote growth in the worktops fabrication market through our members.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Discourage\u00a0<\/strong><strong>unprofessional\u00a0<\/strong><strong>companies that are unwilling to improve.\u00a0<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;38767&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;30px&#8221;][vc_separator][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;30px&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;30px&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Why buy your worktops from a Worktop Fabricators Federation Company?&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:p|font_size:24px|text_align:left&#8221; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Raleway%3A100%2C200%2C300%2Cregular%2C500%2C600%2C700%2C800%2C900|font_style:600%20bold%20regular%3A600%3Anormal&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1584551285844{padding-top: 10px !important;}&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;30px&#8221;][vc_column_text]You, our customers, can rely on companies who are members of the WFF to strive towards best practice in manufacturing, keeping their staff and those around them safe.
