Our buying/lobbying power is vast due to the no. of member companies within the Federation i.e. 2500 and we support over 46,000 employees within the UK. We have been helping the industry since 1918 so our knowledge and background of the industry is vast, if we can't help we can sign-post you to someone who can.
