Here’s what the managers say about the education programme:

“I just wanted to say a big thank you for yesterday’s factory visit, both Dan’s came back really buzzing and learnt loads. It was a great day.”
Andrew Nash, Sussex Promotions.

Here’s what the learners say about the education programme:

“I started working for Essential Promotions with no experience in the promotional merchandise industry. Along with the expertise of my colleagues I found the BPMA education programme an excellent starting point to develop my knowledge. Being able to tailor the programme module by module is great as you can develop in the areas that are the most relevant to your experience and role. I would highly recommend this for any new starters within the industry and I’m looking forward to completing the CPM level.”
Sooz Holmes, Essential Promotions (TPM)

As Merchandise World heads into a new decade, there are plenty of good reasons to be sent to Coventry

The BPMA exhibited at PSI in Dusseldorf earlier this year alongside 800 suppliers from over 35 countries.

The BPMA were pleased to bring back the Christmas Lunch this year, returning to the Guoman Tower Hotel in London.

Join the BPMA drinks reception at PSI on Tuesday 7th January .

It won’t be long before the first mince pies appear on shop shelves – a clear sign that declares the Christmas countdown has truly begun. When it comes to the promotional merchandise industry, time really is of the essence for all festive matters.

It may have been a new venue, but the latest Merchandise World continued its record of delivering the best experience for exhibitors and visitors.

The Ignite group made its annual pilgrimage to Warwick Racecourse on October 3rd for the eleventh time. Although the outing was not blessed with the wonderful weather enjoyed in previous years, at least it stayed dry. Ignite’s outstanding attendance record continued with more than 100 suppliers and members making the trip.

As a joint partner in Merchandise World with Sourcing City, the BPMA was out in force in Milton Keynes. The Association held an informal drinks reception on the evening prior to the show to give members a chance to network ahead of the following day’s activities.

An all-female team created a special St George’s flag to support England’s Lionesses in their World Cup game against Norway.
