6 BPMA News
BREXIT, PRESIDENTS, GOLF AND GROWTH The BPMA has been active on many fronts, to ensure it continues to represent the interests of its members – suppliers of liquid pumps and pumping equipment.
A
s part of its role as one of the 13 members of the EURIS taskforce, the BPMA has been working hard to ensure the UK Government is very clear about the negative implications the association believes the pump sector will face in the event of a no-deal Brexit. In addition to its support of a EURISled call for an extension to Article 50, the BPMA has shared emerging information relating to changes to CE Marking which will take effect either immediately, in the event of a no-deal exit, or following a transition period in the event of an orderly exit. This support for its members has been backed up by further advice from the BPMA around key actions which should be taken to prepare for the possibility of a disorderly exit from the union. A new president of the BPMA was announced following the association’s AGM in late 2018 – Richard Harden,

Managing Director of Wilo UK. Commenting on the appointment, Steve Schofield, Director and Chief Executive of the BPMA said, “The BPMA has enjoyed the support and engagement of some very talented people at its helm over the years, and we are delighted to now have Richard join that impressive line-up”. The BPMA has also recently shared details of a Mutual Co-operation Agreement with Lancaster University. This agreement covers a range of collaborative ideas and opportunities, primarily geared around the development of improved skills and enhanced technology understanding across the sector. The bedrock of the arrangement will be exploring additional content to strengthen the BPMA’s existing range of training courses and evaluating the scope for funded collaboration across a range of technologies pertinent to pump systems engineering.
Details of the Association’s annual golf day have been announced, with the event set to take place on May 16th at Oulton Park Hotel & Golf in Leeds. This event is always popular and promises to offer those that take part an excellent opportunity to network with peers, to reward staff or treat customers to an event they will remember. The Association continues to grow and has recently welcomed three new companies as members. Sealing solutions provider O Rings Ltd, pump repair and servicing specialist Houghton International and heating, cooling and plant engineering technology company Reflex Winkelmann have all recognised the benefits of BPMA membership to their organisations. Finally, BPMA members continue to gain recognition for the work they do. Pump distributor and manufacturer, Tomlinson Hall, was crowned SME Business of the Year at this year’s North East Automotive Alliance Awards, while AESSEAL, a mechanical seals and support systems designer and manufacturer, won the Developing Future Talent award at the prestigious EEF Future Manufacturing Awards.
