Each year, the BCF collects and publishes data from member companies on past financial performance. Not only does this provide a database from which members can assess their own position relative to the average of the industry but it can be of great help to companies outside the membership who wish to understand the financial drivers within the Coatings Industry.
Financial ratios covering sales, profitability and margins, are provided as averages across the industry and split by industry sector along with detailed information by participating member although the identity of the member is not provided. The publication is available to BCF participating members free of charge, and to non-participating members for £500. It is available to purchase by non members for £5,000 - please email yvonne.farthing@bcf.co.uk for a copy. Download of 2008 report is available for Members by clicking here (login details will be required).
