Manufacturing Guild Mark holder wins sustainability prize

Manufacturing Guild Mark holder Jay-Be has been awarded the British Furniture Manufacturers inaugural Future of Furniture Excellence in Sustainability Award.

The Future of Furniture Excellence in Sustainability Award examined entrants’ commitment to improvement in sustainability, alongside their plans on achieving targets over the next three and five years. The judges also considered how members empowered their teams to focus on sustainable solutions.

Jo Little from Planet Mark, which has recently formed a partnership with the BFM, was an expert judge for this category.

Jo said: “Overall, Jay-Be thoroughly impressed me and I look forward to seeing their commitments coming into achievements.”

Roger Durrans, CEO of Jay-Be said: ““I feel absolutely ecstatic and very flattered and proud to be acknowledged for the efforts the team at Jay-Be is putting in, to continue in our sustainability achievements.”

The prize was presented at the recent January Furniture Show.
