BDMA The British Damage Management Association (BDMA) is the certifying body for the damage management industry. https://linktr.ee/TheBDMA

As the certifying authority for recovery and restoration practitioners members gain professional accreditation, as a BDMA Technician or Senior Technician, through a tiered examination system. This enables them to display the Collective Mark, allowing potential customers and the public in general to identify professional technicians and competent corporate damage management organisations. A trainin

g and examination programme for insurers and loss adjusters, leading to accreditation as a BDMA Insurance Technician, enables transparency and greater understanding of the benefits of professional damage management. This allows the insurance industry to recognise best practice and solutions that reduce claims costs and improve the customer experience. Accreditation as BDMA Claims Practitioners is also available, via examination, for those engaged in property claims who do not meet the criteria for the above categories. Details of available accreditation categories and related criteria are available on our website.

The BDMA is built around its people.

Our members, volunteers, sponsors, partners and wider industry community all play a vital role in making the BDMA what it is today.

We are delighted to announce the launch of ‘BDMA Together’, a new working group programme designed to bring members of the BDMA community together to share knowledge, ideas and experience.

The programme will create new opportunities for members to get involved, contribute to important discussions and help shape the future of both the Association and the wider industry.

We are currently finalising the details of the programme, and more information will be released soon.

We look forward to sharing this exciting initiative with you and welcoming members from across the industry to be part of the conversation.

This week we celebrated Anne’s 10th anniversary with the BDMA! 🎉

Over the past decade, Anne has been a constant and valued member of the BDMA team in her role as Accounts and Office Administrator. She has supported our members, helped keep the organisation running smoothly, and contributed greatly to the wider BDMA community. Many members will know Anne through their CPD submissions and the support she provides behind the scenes. She is also renowned for her determination when it comes to member retention, often going the extra mile to track down members who have changed employers to ensure they retain their membership.

We are incredibly grateful for everything Anne has given to the BDMA over the last ten years.

Thank you, Anne, and congratulations on this fantastic milestone. Here's to many more years to come! 🥂

Nepal Floods: Our thoughts are with those affected

The BDMA is deeply saddened by the devastating floods that have struck parts of Nepal, causing significant loss of life, widespread damage to homes and infrastructure, and leaving many families and communities facing an uncertain future.

As an organisation dedicated to supporting professional standards in damage management and restoration and communities in distress, we recognise the immense challenges that follow disasters of this scale. The immediate priority remains the safety of those affected and the efforts of emergency responders, humanitarian organisations, and volunteers working tirelessly to assist communities in need.

We extend our sincere condolences to everyone who has lost loved ones and send our thoughts to all those impacted by this tragedy.
