British Engineering Manufacturers Association

British Engineering Manufacturers Association

The British Engineering Manufacturers' Association (BEMA) was founded in 1936 to benefit member companies with mutual help and assistance. Since then the Association has grown considerably and is now a company limited by guarantee, but still maintaining the same ethos of common co-operation. We are the largest engineering trade association in the South West of England with members operating as far north as Worcestershire and south to Cornwall, west into South Wales and as far east as Surrey. BEMA set up a training college to help members recruit and train apprentices and to combat the shortfall in trained, qualified engineers.
