About us What we do Members Newsroom Events Reita IN THIS SECTION: OUR MEMBERS MEMBERS LIST BENEFITS TESTIMONIALS WHAT IT COSTS JOIN NOW GET INVOLVED COMMITTEES Members Member benefits Companies, firms and organisations join the BPF because they recognise we have a real influence on the government for the good of the whole industry. Elsewhere on this site you'll find lots of evidence of the campaigns we have won, improvements we have achieved and detrimental changes that we have managed to fight off or tone down. The greater the number and range of organisations that we represent, the greater the clout we can have with the government. As well as benefiting the greater good of the industry, members also look to receive more specific benefits from their membership. Below you'll find some of the reasons why different types of members join the BPF.
