BPMA Launches New Brochure to Promote Careers in the Pump Industry

The British Pump Manufacturers Association (BPMA) announces four new additions to its distinguished roster of member organisations. Each company brings a wealth of expertise, innovation, and dedication to the pump industry, further strengthening BPMA’s commitment to promoting pump engineering excellence across the sector.

Regulation has long played an important role in shaping the UK pump industry, but the pace, scope and complexity of change we are now experiencing marks a significant shift. For manufacturers, suppliers and end users alike, navigating this evolving landscape is becoming an increasingly strategic challenge – and one that demands careful attention.

Energy efficiency is no longer a peripheral consideration for the UK pump industry — it is now central to how the sector innovates, competes and contributes to national sustainability goals. Given that pumping systems account for a significant proportion of electricity use across industry, utilities and building services, the opportunity to reduce energy consumption — and associated carbon emissions — is both substantial and urgent.

The British Pump Manufacturers Association (BPMA) announces that entries are now open for the 2027 Pump Industry Awards, inviting companies, organisations, and individuals from across the pump sector to showcase their achievements in one of industry’s longest standing and most highly respected awards programmes.

As organisations across industry continue to seek ways to reduce operating costs and improve sustainability, the importance of regular energy audits has never been greater. For many industrial, commercial and manufacturing facilities, pumping systems represent one of the largest consumers of electricity, making them a prime target for energy reduction initiatives.

The British Pump Manufacturers Association (BPMA) is reinforcing the vital importance of ongoing skills development for all engineers, contractors, and operatives involved in the selection, installation, operation, and maintenance of pump systems across UK industry. With pumping systems playing a critical role in sectors ranging from construction and water management to energy, manufacturing, and processing, the BPMA is calling on employers to prioritise technical training as a route to improved efficiency, compliance, and sustainability.
