BMA - FOR A SUSTAINABLE AND COMPLIANT INDUSTRY
A clear mission and purpose drive the Bathroom Manufacturers Association. Combine this sense of purpose with a considered and well-articulated strategy, and the result is an organisation making an impact for its members across two areas of sustained focus - sustainability and product compliance.
We are proud to say BMA is a growing association; this is a testament to the success of our sector, the appeal of our goals, and the engagement of our manufacturers. BMA now boasts some of the biggest and best names in the world of bathrooms, and these businesses know their role in achieving the UK’s environmental ambitions.
Our association devotes much time to sustainable ambitions for the sector, whether through our regular Sustainability Forum events, our annual Sustainability Awards or engaging with our members’ sustainability ambitions from the Government.
Quality manufacturers also care about product compliance, which is a message we are taking to the Government to bring about greater levels of market surveillance and increase compliance in the whole market. At the BMA, our members determine the direction of travel and shape all our activities.
Our highlight of the year is our Annual Industry Conference, bringing together the leaders in our sector for two days of inspiring talks, networking and activities. Our 2023 Conference is no different.
