About the BPMA

Established in 1965, the British Promotional Merchandise Association (BPMA) is the UK’s leading industry body dedicated to promoting best practice around the sourcing, manufacturing and distribution of promotional products.
We exist to enable our members to be more successful and be seen as exemplars of best practice, centres of excellence to customers and partners within the promotional merchandise industry.

The BPMA is steered by an elected board (headed by a chairman), all of whom are actively involved in a hands-on capacity in the promotional marketing industry, and a professional secretariat which forms the backbone of the BPMA

Why buy from a BPMA member?

The BPMA upholds a strict code of conduct that members must adhere to, and provides access to professional training and development resources to ensure members can continually improve their knowledge and expertise within the industry.

• Benefit from their professionalism - avoid unnecessary risks
• Benefit from their knowledge and expertise
• Benefit from their commitment to quality
• Benefit from their credibility - expect no surprises.

If an order is not fulfilled to your expectations, be reassured you can come to us and we will work with both sides to help resolve the matter. The BPMA set the standard, not only to protect the end user, but to give you the confidence you are buying from a reputable manufacturer, supplier or distributor.
