The National Federation of Builders (NFB) has bolstered its support for medium sized contractors with the appointment of James Macdonald as a new key account handler.

His new role has been created by the NFB in recognition of the more complex needs of contractors with a turnover greater than £5 million.

"His appointment enables us to provide tailored, hands on service for all of our members - no matter what their size."
