BMA wins prestigious Trade Association of the Year award

The Bathroom Manufacturers Association (BMA) picked up the award for Trade Association of the Year at the prestigious Trade Association Forum (TAF) Awards.

Now in its 22nd year, the 2025 TAF Awards were held on Thursday, 27th February, at the De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms in London and are supported by the Department of Business and Trade. They serve as a testament to the pivotal role of Trade Associations in shaping industry standards and fostering collaboration.

This coveted accolade for the BMA highlights its unwavering commitment to advancing the interests of its members and promoting excellence within the bathroom manufacturing sector.

"We are absolutely overwhelmed to have won this ultimate association award," remarked Tom Reynolds, Chief Executive of the BMA.

Tom and Amy Kirk, Engagement Director, were at the KBIS Show in Las Vegas hosting the British Pavillion and could not attend the awards ceremony. However, Tom endorsed the association’s efforts, "It is a testament to the hard work and dedication of an incredible team, including Amy Kirk, Andrew McLean, Sandra Cliff, Lisa Carnwell, and Jane Blakeborough, as well as a supportive board and our active membership. All have contributed, and I hope everyone will share my pride in being part of the association.”

The TAF Awards represent a significant highlight in the Trade Association calendar, providing well-deserved recognition for organisations like the BMA that consistently demonstrate excellence and dedication in their field. This latest achievement further solidifies the BMA's position as a leader in the industry.

This prestigious win follows the BMA's success at the 2024 TAF Awards, where it secured the Association Team of the Year Award. The consecutive recognition highlights an ongoing commitment to delivering for its members within the sector.

Emily Wallace, Chief Executive of the Trade Association Forum and one of the head judges on the panel, said: “The BMA had a fantastic year delivering for members with new partnerships, innovative programmes and increased growth and impact of the team.”
