“We are tremendously grateful for the support of the PMI during the pandemic. The Trust's generous funding helped us to provide many bathroom sector employees with online learning, making lockdown a productive time that will assist them in their onward careers in the industry. Our sector is built on its people, and this initiative has helped make that foundation much stronger.”

Tom Reynolds, BMA Chief Executive
