Associate Membership
The quarry industry depends heavily on good quality, on time and reliable service providers and suppliers. We are therefore keen to develop strong links with reputable organisations. All companies interested in supplying our industry can become associate BAA members.
This low cost option opens up a two way process of access to meeting with quarry operators all over the UK in return for a modest membership fee. Associate members receive a headline welcome in our newsletter on joining and will be listed on the BAA website and encouraged to use the BAA logo on their own website, stationery and vehicles. Many associate members already showcase their products at the BAA Annual Meeting and AGM where an unparalleled gathering of industry decision makers is always present.
By helping to support the UK quarry industry you will therefore be investing wisely in the future of your own company.
