The Bathroom Manufacturers Association (BMA) has been named Trade Association of the Year at the Trade Association Forum (TAF) Awards.
Now in its twenty-second 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.
"We are absolutely overwhelmed to have won this ultimate association award," remarked Tom Reynolds, Chief Executive of the BMA.
Tom and Amy Kirk, Engagement Directors at the BMA, 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, saying: "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.”
This 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.”
