A building materials specialist from Aberdare has been recognised for her
commitment to the industry.
National trade body The Builders Merchants Federation (BMF) and Builders’
Merchants News (BMN), have joined forces to identify the Top 100 Young Achievers
across the multi-billion-pound building materials sector, and shine a light on the
brightest stars of the future.
Rachel Dennett, National Account Manager at VELUX, based in Aberdare, has been
