A source of advice and information (26th July 2006)

These last 12 months have been eventful and successful for BCAS. We have continued to grow in membership during 2005/6, now standing at a total of 114 members compared with 101 this time last year. Maintaining UK membership is a challenge in a climate of company takeover and consolidation within the compressed air industry itself, but we have met the challenge and in addition, attracted an increasing number of non-UK members, as well as companies that produce or sell ancillary products. Hence membership today is the broadest in company range of activities in the Society's history.
