British Wool Marketing Board Markets & distributes wool and woolen products. The company is a farmer run organization; the BWMB was established in 1950 to operate a central marketing system for UK fleece wool, with the aim of achieving the best possible net return for producers. It is the only organization in the world that collects, grades, sells and promotes fleece wool and the only remaining agricultural commodity board in the UK. Receiving no financial support, although operating commercially, the BWMB is a non- profit making organization, returning to producers the market price for their wool, less its own costs.
