We support our members and liaise with the Department for Business and Trade in identifying and capitalising on opportunities as well as informing the ecosystem around trade policy overseas and domestic.
Our Business Intelligence Centre WikiBAG is the central location for all members to share business related opportunities.
The Business Intelligence & Missions Working Groups were asked by the BAG Board to try and collect as much intelligence as they can to gather on what is happening in the market. The Board agreed to focus these discussions onto the following topics:
We are publishing regular Business Intelligence Updates which are released via the BAG website and shared with our membership.
“If we can share knowledge, share the data in the way of programmes, projects being undertaken, right from master plan through to delivery and handover, these opportunities can help all BAG members…. there are a number of suppliers and a number manufactures that are doing some great work, very innovative work in the industry and for me to be able to get them meeting clients, being able to see the opportunities are for them, not only in the UK industry but world-wide, meets massive benefits…”
Tim Walder, TWW Solutions, BAG Deputy Chair
One of last week’s highlights was attending the BAG Summer Seminar and evening reception. We found that it was very engaging, very well organised, venue was spot on and everyone was so friendly. Loved engaging with everyone in such a relaxed environment, lots of funny stories were shared. Particularly liked meeting with likeminded professional problem solvers like ourselves.

“The BAG mentoring programme has been a game changer in my professional life. Having a mentor has helped me believe in myself, with my self-confidence and to see things from a different perspective. My mentor challenges me on what is needed and encourages and supports me as well. It is great to be able to have an honest and open discussion with someone who has been through similar experiences and learn from her. I wish everyone could have a chance to have such a mentor!”
Paula Pontes, MAG
