BPCA highly commended in awards for ‘membership organisation of the year’

BPCA has won a highly commended award for ‘membership organisation of the year’ at the 2020 Memcom excellence awards

BPCA membership organisation of the year

BPCA picked up the accolade in the most prestigious award category, battling it out against some tough competition. 

Those shortlisted included large professional bodies such as the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, the Digital Marketing Institute and the Royal Institute of British Architects. 

The award ceremony was live-streamed online due to the Covid-19 pandemic, so BPCA didn’t get to pick up the award in person. 

For the work we do for our members to be recognised by the membership sector is a huge honour, especially considering the impressive size and scale of our competition. BPCA is a fairly small membership organisation, but I think this award goes to show we punch well above our weight.

Ian Andrew, BPCA Chief Exec

The award comes off the back of the work BPCA did in 2019, including:

  • Taking the running of PestEx 2019 in house
  • Launching BPCA Registered
  • Our work with eBay and the Crop Protection Association.

Hopefully we will have an even stronger entry for all the work we have done for our members in 2020
