The British Coatings Federation (BCF) has picked up the ‘Award for Good Governance’ at the Trade Association Forum Awards 2023 for its work to reduce its pension deficit, a major financial issue facing BCF over the past decade.
Through the delivery of a clear strategy and long-term prudent financial management,  plus a concerted effort to grow membership and commercial income, the BCF Pension Scheme Trustees were able to sell the pension scheme without any additional investment from the BCF’s reserves in 2022.
BCF senior marketing and design executive, Amy White, was also named the sector’s ‘Rising Star’.
Now in its 20th year, the Trade Association Forum Awards 2023 are supported by the Department of Business and Trade, and recognise excellence, innovation and best practice amongst Trade Associations in the UK.
