The British Wool Marketing Board (BWMB) has launched its new website. The newly designed fresh-looking site includes updated information on BWMB’s activities, such as shearing, training, marketing, the regional structure and useful advice for producers on fleece rolling and presentation. The new website is fully compatible and responsive to tablets and smart phones.

The website allows the board to showcase the work BWMB is doing to maximise the value of its wool. An important, easy to use feature of the new site will enable producers to register online or to amend their registration details. More detailed information is also available on fleece presentation and on the quality control scheme the BWMB operates across all depots.

Another important development in recent months is BWMB’s presence on social media with active accounts on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram. BWMB has been collecting, grading, promoting and selling great British fleece wool since 1950. BWMB is required to register all producers with four or more sheep. There are currently approximately 45,000 registered producers.

Receiving no financial support, although operating commercially, BWMB is a non-profit making organisation, returning to producers the market price for their wool, less its own costs.
