WORKTOP FABRICATORS FEDERATION

Launched in 2020, the Worktop Fabricators Federation is a non profit organization for those using industrial fabrication methods to make worktops from natural stone and similar man-made materials.

The Federation's objectives are to promote professionalism across the worktop fabrication and stone masonry industries, including the promotion of good working practices and policies for health and safety in the workplace. The WFF is a unified representative voice for the industry on matters of industry-wide importance.

 BEST PRACTICE

You can rely on companies who are members of the WFF to strive towards best practice in manufacturing, keeping their staff and those around them safe. While we do not warrant individual members' delivered work, our members aim to continuously invest in training, processes and technology to deliver the very best and most dependable service, and to trade ethically at all times. 

Our members will have workshops where Health and Safety are controlled and managed. They will train their staff, pay their taxes, insure against public risks and commit to keeping up with developments in the Worktop industry.

COMMUNITY BUILDING

WFF was created by a group of fabricators, sitting together on a supplier trip and realising how valuable it is to share problems and ideas with one another. The biggest issue we face in running businesses is that we are so often alone, and that so few other business people understand the problems specific to our industry.

WFF is all about getting together as an industry and creating a professional network. We’re encouraging you to invite your competitors into your workshops to see the things you’re proud of, share your own experiences and build relationships. We actively encourage suppliers and fabricators to engage regionally and nationally. We will help you to train your staff and develop recognised qualifications to demonstrate that investment.

There are over 2,000 businesses in the UK engaged in the craft of producing worktops. WFF exists to provide a forum for all fabricators and suppliers to come together, exchange ideas and share best practice in an open and constructive manner and in full compliance with the Competition Act. In this way, WFF will truly become the voice of our industry, reflecting and addressing the concerns of professional fabricators to policy-makers and industry bodies.
