The Northern Counties Builders Federation (NCBF) is a long-established trade association bringing together construction companies and contractors operating in the North East of England. We describe ourselves as ‘the champion of regional contractors’ because we are committed to supporting the many talented construction industry SME's in this region and are keen to play an increasingly strategic role in their success and development. We are proactive in raising the profile of our regional members, supporting training and apprenticeships with access to grants and funding and helping to future-proof the North East construction industry alongside our network of linked organisations.
