Why become a partner?

Joining the British Footwear Association

Partnership Benefits

The British Footwear Association (BFA) is a not-for-profit organisation working on behalf of the footwear industry with an objective to support and grow British footwear companies.  We work alongside Governments, organisations and other related associations and businesses to encourage, develop, protect, prepare and promote our members for a long-term sustainable and profitable future.

We are run for and by our members – by becoming a partner you join a network of some of the foremost businesses within the UK footwear sector. Whatever business products or services you are marketing BFA members are always keen to adopt that which enhances their business, makes their operation more efficient or increases their profits.

BFA hold regular networking events and themed webinars, where we encourage partners to take the reins and showcase their businesses and services to our membership. We also enable partners to have an input in what we say to the Government and receive Whitehall’s responses first-hand.
