The BMA are a trade body who represent the bathroom industry and provide an independent forum for
trading in the UK. Upon joining the BMA I was responsible for designing and launching their new brand
identity which including the redesign of the organisations website.
Since the rebrand I have been working on the Bathroom Academy arm of the association which we are
looking to rebrand and re-launch by the end of 2015. In my role I am responsible for marketing the BMA
to encourage new members as well as managing all Graphic Design including literature and adverts for
both trade and consumer press.
Along with the marketing and design function at the BMA I am also in charge of organizing the annual
