By popular demand, the BFPA is returning to the IMechE in London. It has secured two highly relevant speakers for this year’s event; one from the Government’s Better Regulation Executive within BIS, and on a lighter but equally informative note, a psychometric analyst and leadership consultant who will be taking a view on our interaction with staff and colleagues in the workplace and in our everyday lives.
The AGM is an opportunity to raise any questions on how the Association is run, and also enjoy the chance to network with friends and colleagues within the industry. BFPA CEO Chris Buxton and the BFPA team look forward to meeting you. Coffee and opportunities for pre-AGM networking are available to all attendees from 10am. The AGM officially commences at 11am.

The British Fluid Power Association (BFPA), incorporating the British Fluid Power Distributors Association (BFPDA), enjoyed a very positive outing at this year’s Fluid Power & Systems exhibition, held at Birmingham’s NEC from 8 to 10 April. The Association’s staff provided a warm welcome to members, prospective members and other enquiring parties on the BFPA Pavilion. The Pavilion provided an ideal opportunity for visitors to network, while resting their feet and enjoying some light refreshments.
For those with particular technical queries the Association was joined by fluid power experts who were available to answer specific application questions. All BFPA advisors are completely impartial and as such any advice provided at the event was free of any commercial bias.
Association members and their guests were also cordially invited to attend a drinks reception on the BFPA Pavilion on the second evening of the show. The reception, which was kindly sponsored by SMC Pneumatics, began at 5pm and proved a major success.
Chris Buxton, CEO of the BFPA, said of Fluid Power & Systems 2014: “As the new CEO for the British Fluid Power Association I was keen that my first Fluid Power & Systems event was a success for both the Association and for our members. I need not have had any fears. The 2014 event was a great success providing visitors with a panorama of the technology and products available to them and the exhibitors with unrivalled access to serious decision makers from the customer community.”
