We support our members to be successful across the UK and overseas by accessing the full suite of BAG activities including Promotion, Business Intelligence, Events, Special Interest Groups and Regions (incorporating our approach to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, Information sharing and value for money).
Promoting our members and their expertise via:
Our experienced team organises a comprehensive event programme in the UK and overseas to help our members develop their network of contacts and further their export activities. Ranging from networking events and briefings to one-to-one meetings and overseas missions, we have something to suit all businesses.
Special Interest Groups and Regions All BAG Special Interest Groups (SIGs) have been formed to represent joint interests within the airport development sector. These groups are led by a nominated representative with the task of developing specific sector strategies, identifying target markets and advising the Board on issues affecting the sector. BAG facilitates opportunities to network and build collaborative relationships with the widest representation of the UK supply chain. This is underpinned by promoting Regional Structure, i.e. truly working with the whole of the UK.
All BAG Regions are open to all BAG members but it is hoped that they will enable greater participation in BAG by the regional offices of BAG member companies, and attract new members for whom a London based offer has been too difficult to access.
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!”
