et ready to mark your calendars because on the 3rd of July, we’re hosting our inaugural Charity Summer Social at Worsley Park in Manchester, and you’re invited to join us for a day like no other.
This isn’t your typical networking affair or charity event. We’re offering a unique opportunity to connect with industry peers, build new relationships, and foster teamwork while supporting a remarkable cause.

Soapbox Derby Team-Building Event. Get ready for an exhilarating adventure, including qualifiers to design workshops, and unleash your inner engineer as you craft your very own soapbox racer.
After a day of spirited competition, it’ll be time to unwind in an evening of gastronomic delight with a sumptuous four-course meal. Yet, the true essence of this event lies in its charitable spirit. Your participation in the Charity Summer Social will directly contribute to the incredible endeavours of Band of Builders, a cause close to our hearts.

Spaces are filling up fast, so visit our website and register today for an unforgettable experience at the BMA’s Charity Summer Social. Trust us, you won’t want to miss it!
UWLA – Government and water companies should support industry water label
WLA MD Yvonne Orgill explains why governments and water companies should support the Unified Water Label. There is agreement on the severity of the situation and the danger to our water supplies but no joined up thinking on solutions from government and water companies.
U
The National Infrastructure Commission issued an update in March, noting that currently nearly one million homes in the UK have more than one per cent chance of flooding in any given year, and there is a one in four chance of a severe drought before 2050.
Given that everyone agrees that the demands on our water and wastewater systems are increasing as the population grows, water efficiency should be a priority at every level within those organisations that have the power to influence. This is not the case, and with so much misunderstanding and misinformation, the huge steps forward and positive actions taken by industry are overlooked.
The Unified Water Label has been developed by industry for industry, and is well liked by consumers. It is a simple, credible, effective labelling scheme for water using bathroom products and kitchen taps. The Unified Water Label is influencing new product design and the scheme is gaining visibility every day.
Over 160 brands currently support the UWL, over 22,000 products are registered, with a predicted 28,000 by the end of 2024. The Unified Water Label has support across all sectors including manufacturers, retailers, installers and designers. A dedicated Road Map to educate retailers and installers on their role in influencing consumers is underway.

The UWLA is committed to working with government and all interested parties to bring about change but they must be willing to recognise what the industry has already achieved. If we are to make progress in changing consumer behaviour we must all work together.
