Federation House is home to the British Allied Trades Federation. The British Allied Trades Federation is a dynamic organisation with over 125 years of heritage, representing and supporting three distinct trade associations across the home, giftware, and allied trades industries. Our mission is to unite, advocate for, and empower our member associations, fostering collaboration and innovation to drive sustainable growth and global competitiveness.

At the core of our work is a commitment to supporting our members in navigating the challenges of a rapidly evolving business landscape. From championing sustainability and net-zero initiatives to addressing skills gaps, energy security, and policy stability, BATF provides the resources, advocacy, and guidance necessary to thrive in an ever-changing marketplace.

We serve as a powerful voice for British industry, ensuring the interests of our members are represented at the highest levels of government and decision-making. Through initiatives such as our Best of British programme, we actively help businesses expand their reach, showcasing British excellence on international stages like the Atlanta Market.

Our values are rooted in collaboration, inclusivity, integrity, and innovation. By providing industry leadership, shared resources, and professional development opportunities, we empower our members to overcome challenges and seize opportunities.

The BATF is dedicated to supporting businesses of all sizes, with a particular focus on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), recognising their critical role in the UK economy. Through tailored programmes, strategic partnerships, and cutting-edge resources, we ensure our members are well-equipped for success, both at home and abroad.

As we look to the future, we remain steadfast in our commitment to promoting sustainability, fostering innovation, and driving growth across the allied trades. Together, we are shaping a prosperous, resilient, and vibrant future for British industry.
