Leading sports psychologist BMF All-Industry Conference
BMF relaunches industry recruitment website
MICHAEL CAULFIELD MSC, one of the UK’s leading sports psychologists who has worked with England football manager Gareth Southgate, as well as teams and players in both the Barclays’ Premier League and international and domestic cricket, has been confirmed as a headline speaker at the BMF All-Industry Conference. As a registered performance psychologist with the Health and Care Professionals Council, Caulfield supports a number of teams, organisations, coaches and athletes in elite sport and has wide experience across many sporting codes. He was formerly CEO of the Professional Jockeys Association and the balance of experiences gives him a unique understanding of the performance requirements of both his business and sporting clients. BMF CEO, John Newcomb said: “Michael will provide yet another dimension to our Conference theme of Building Excellence. The breadth of his experience provides examples and insights from the sporting world that reinforce core performance messages in a business environment.”
The BMF also announced a slight change to the speaker programme. The Institute of Directors will now be represented by Edwin Morgan, Interim Director General for External Affairs. • The BMF All-Industry Conference 2019, sponsored by Crystal Group, takes place in Dubrovnik from 13 to 16 June.

THE BMF HAS launched Building Materials Careers, a new, improved website to encourage more people to join the building materials sector by highlighting the wide range of careers available both in merchant and supplier businesses. The relaunch follows policy research with members who told the BMF they wanted the Federation to help promote the widest possible range of job opportunities in the industry, fostering diversity and inclusion, helping members to recruit a workforce from a wide range of backgrounds and experience. As part of the BMF’s bold new strategy, unveiled at its annual Members’ Day Conference
in September, attracting and developing talented people in to the industry will continue to be a main strategic goal. The website - www.
buildingmaterialscareers.com - promotes apprenticeships, life- long learning and gives members the opportunity to manage their job advertisements free of charge using the ‘Advertise A Job’ facility. Potential apprentices and employees will then be able to easily locate these roles, using the region, sector and location search filters.
The website features merchant and supplier employees’ video profiles . Each profile explains how they came to work in the
materials supply industry and what they like about their specific job. Job seekers will be inspired by the range of career opportunities available to them in the building materials industry, no matter what educational qualifications they achieved at school or university. The site also highlights the BMF’s Ambassador programme, and explains that schools and colleges can invite someone working in the industry to share their experience at careers events.
