Membership has its benefits
There are many ways that the BPMA adds value for its members, says Kian Clews-Braddon
As a Membership Executive at the BPMA, I’m thrilled to share the array of invaluable services and benefits we offer members at the many face to face events and webinars we hold. We take immense pride in being a steadfast support system, guiding every member through their journey in the dynamic world of promotional merchandise.
Our membership opens doors to an extensive range of resources designed to ensure members are equipped for every business scenario. One such acclaimed resource is our partnership with Quest Cover, a comprehensive support platform offering expertise in HR, health & safety, legal, and VAT matters.
Supporting members
Catching up with Quest and their services recently was a reminder that members enjoy complimentary access to a treasure trove of more than 800 documents across various business domains, tailored to meet specific needs. This is alongside Quest’s dedicated BPMA member support helpline. Members I’ve been speaking to recently have used this benefit and have provided fabulous feedback.
Credit partner
Another game-changer for our members is our collaboration with AccountAssyst. This partnership extends an incredible 600 annual credits, facilitating a multitude of benefits such as comprehensive credit reports, account openings, credit control chases, and more.
BPMA members receive top-notch support, including a complimentary credit management health check consultancy valued at £1,000. The set-up and service activations are free of charge, and extensive training is included alongside a dedicated helpline for guidance.
Let’s talk it through
These offerings are just a glimpse into the wealth of benefits and savings we provide to BPMA members. If you’re eager to explore these services further, I warmly invite members to schedule a meeting with me. We are committed to ensuring your business thrives with our support.
At the BPMA, optimising our membership experience is at the core of what we do. Recently, we hosted an enriching Member Orientation Seminar at our Fetcham head office, welcoming a mix of companies, including both suppliers and distributors. During the seminar, we covered the extensive benefits available to members, emphasising the importance of using these.
These seminars also serve as fantastic networking opportunities. Our dedicated BPMA Executive Team is always on hand to address queries, discuss industry changes, and showcase our unwavering commitment to supporting our members. Plus, we provide a delightful breakfast and lunch spread. Keep an eye on the inbox for our next orientation seminar in early 2024.
Getting together
Uniting the industry is a primary goal for us at BPMA. Events like these not only offer networking opportunities, but also keeps everyone up to date on the latest industry updates. Stay in the loop with our upcoming events by visiting our events page.
Recently, I attended the Advantage Product Showcase hosted by Lawrence Angelow. A day full of great businesses exhibiting and then a lovely three-course meal in the evening, followed by an awards presentation.
It was another great example of bringing the industry together and recognising success. This is also very important to us at the BPMA, and it is an honour to be a part of such a successful sector.
