Consultations and Briefings

The FMB makes representations to government and parliament on behalf of its members. This involves responding to consultations, inquiries and legislative proposals. The FMB’s Health and Safety, Homebuilders, and Training groups inform and influence the FMB’s policy agenda.

The FMB is always keen to hear members’ views on relevant topics in the day to day running of their businesses and opinions on forthcoming consultations. If you would like to contact the FMB with your views please email Peter O’Connell, Policy Manager at peteroconnell@fmb.org.uk.
