Pump Association Welcomes New Members

Circulation pumps may not grab headlines, but they are the beating heart of heating and hot water systems across the UK. In both homes and commercial buildings, their performance directly affects energy consumption, running costs, and long-term reliability. Yet our market is increasingly threatened by a flood of cheap, non-compliant imports from the Far East—products that fail to meet the safety and efficiency standards required by UK law. This is not just a technical problem. It is a consumer issue, a business issue, and an environmental issue that undermines the UK’s drive toward net zero.

The British Pump Manufacturers Association (BPMA) is encouraging businesses and engineering professionals across all industry sectors to prioritise working with BPMA member companies when specifying or sourcing pumps and pump-related systems. Whether for manufacturing, processing, infrastructure, or utility applications, selecting the right products—and the right partners—is key to achieving safe, efficient, and sustainable operations.

The British Pump Manufacturers Association (BPMA) is proud to reaffirm its ongoing commitment to championing engineering excellence across the pump sector through its highly regarded and long-standing annual awards programme. The 2026 Pump Industry Awards are now open for entries, and the BPMA is calling on the industry to get involved and celebrate the innovations, individuals, and initiatives that continue to power this vital sector.

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.

The British Pump Manufacturers Association is excited to announce that the nomination process for the 2026 Pump Industry Awards is now underway. This year’s Gala Dinner will take place on Thursday 19th March at The Hilton, St. George’s Park, Burton upon Trent.

The British Pump Manufacturers Association (BPMA) has unveiled a new brochure, Pumps: A World of Opportunity, aimed at inspiring interest in the wide array of career paths available within the pump industry.
