The BDMA has well over 2,600 members across a range of categories, covering damage management and many related disciplines.
Here are some of the reasons our members gave for joining the BDMA
• “It shows the world that I am competent; professional; qualified; experienced”
• “Insurers want to see a BDMA accreditation”
• “I can take my accreditation with me when I move jobs”
• “I want to gain further knowledge; increase competency; develop my career”
• “It will increase my future employability within the claims or insurance industry”
• “It will help me to provide a professional service on damage management insurance claims”
• “I want to gain an accreditation that is recognised and respected across the industry and beyond”
• “It was recommended by my company; colleagues; associates”
• “It is a contractual or work requirement”
• “Because I really value the BDMA”
Membership offers a number of benefits and BDMA accreditation is essential for those wishing to gain a respected professional qualification.
