Regional and National Groups

The aim of these groups is to support members locally and help develop the work of the Association around the UK. Each group host their own events and meetings (for forthcoming dates, please see the calendar) providing a forum for local networking and information sharing. Groups will also be asked to assist the BPA with lobbying government on key issues thereby ensuring the voice of our industry is heard.

These meetings are open to all members of the Association, and those who are considering joining the BPA are welcome to attend initial meetings, to gain an insight into the work of the BPA.
