Cost-efficient employment law advice for BMF
I’m the Membership Services Director at the Builders Merchants Federation, the BMF.
We’ve been working with Halborns for over eight years, providing BMF’s Intelligent Employment Plus. This was first service I introduced, as I’ve been with BMF eight years too.
During this time, Halborns have supported over eighty of our members, both merchants and suppliers, which currently cover over 10,000 employees amongst our members and their client base.
Halborns have regularly provided HR advice and supported our HR forum, our finance forum and regional meetings around the country. I also need to add that BMF use Halborns as our employment lawyers and advisers too.
The BMF have been shortlisted for several membership awards in the Membership Support category for Intelligent Employment Plus provided by Halborns, and I’d say there’s probably two reasons for that.
One, it’s a fixed fee, so it has saved members a lot of money. Secondly, it’s value add, so they get free contract reviews, a legal helpline which gives them free advice, there’s template documents, regular updates and insights.
So, above all, BMF Intelligent Employment Plus provided by Halborns, is good value for money.
