The Bathroom Manufacturers Association (BMA) announces that R-TECH Materials has once again secured its Gold Sponsor status for the highly anticipated Connect Conference 2025.

This year's event, which will take place on September 16th and 17th at the prestigious Grand Hotel in Birmingham, promises to be an unmissable gathering for the bathroom industry.

Under the theme “Connect the Dots”, the conference will explore how collaboration across the sector – from manufacturers and supply chains to retailers and merchants – can foster sustainable growth in an increasingly dynamic marketplace. The event will spotlight partnerships, shared insights, and innovative strategies that help the industry thrive amidst modern challenges.

Tom Reynolds, Chief Executive of the BMA, welcomed R-TECH Materials' continued support:
“Welcoming R-TECH Materials again as a Gold Sponsor for our annual conference shows their unwavering support to the association and the wider industry.

“The bathroom sector has faced complex challenges in recent times, but with collaboration and a renewed focus, we have every reason to be optimistic about our prospects in 2025. This year’s conference is the ideal platform to bring people together, spark fresh thinking, and shape a stronger future for our industry.”

Dave Mumford, Managing Director of R-TECH Materials, commented:
“We’re delighted to be sponsoring the Bathroom Manufacturers Association’s Connect Conference for the third consecutive year. It’s a fantastic opportunity to support the industry and engage with manufacturers who are committed to quality, innovation, and compliance.
“At R-TECH Materials, we understand how critical materials performance is to product reliability and meeting regulatory requirements—especially when it comes to demonstrating compliance with Regulation 4. Our accredited product testing services and deep materials expertise allow us to provide the evidence manufacturers need to show their products meet the necessary standards.
“For businesses without in-house materials expertise, our team is here to fill that gap. We work as an extension of your team—offering guidance, troubleshooting materials issues, and helping you navigate even the most complex compliance challenges.
“Through our continued partnership with the BMA, we’re proud to support a stronger, more resilient, and future-ready bathroom manufacturing sector.”

The conference will feature thought-provoking keynote speakers, including Alex Depledge and Anna Leach, engaging panel discussions, and exceptional networking opportunities. For sponsors, speakers, and attendees alike, the Connect Conference 2025 offers a unique platform to tackle shared challenges and unite the whole bathroom industry toward common goals.
