The British & Irish Association of Fastener Distributors is conducting this survey to build a clearer picture of the scale, reach, and economic contribution of our sector.
The results will be used collectively, never attributed to individual companies, to represent the fastener distribution industry when engaging with government, policymakers, manufacturers, and wider industry stakeholders. In particular, the data will support BIAFD’s lobbying work on issues such as CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism) and steel safeguarding, where demonstrating the sector’s true economic weight can make a real difference.
Your responses are completely anonymous and will only ever be reported in aggregate form. Individual company responses will only be seen by the member services team and will not be shared with the Management Committee. We are grateful for your time and candour. The more members who respond, the stronger the case we can make on your behalf.
We request one response per member company, covering the whole business operation within the UK and Ireland. If your company is part of a larger group, please complete this survey for your individual member entity only, not the group as a whole.
The survey opens on June 1 and closes on September 30.
