Who are we and what do we do?
BFJA - who are we?
We are an association representing the various interests of the British fruit juice industry – importers, manufacturers, packers and all involved in fruit juices.
Members are from the smallest to the largest companies in the industry. Our combined knowledge on issues related to the business is a great asset.
We work on behalf of members to:-
- Promote the interests of those engaged in fruit juices
- Make representations with government bodies as and when required
- Be impartial arbiters for problems raised by members
- Act in an advisory capacity to government departments and other bodies on juice issues
- Provide a focus for technical and commercial information
- Maintain strong links with other trade bodies
What else do we get up to?
We have a Committee drawn from the membership and secretariat which meets 4 times a year. There is a 'must be a there' annual symposium in June - it's a chance to catch up with friends, listen to presentations on current issues in the industry, have a great lunch and mingle.
What's the benefit?
- Tap into a wealth of knowledge
- Hear considered opinions on current issues
- Any concerns from members can be channelled to the appropriate government departments, anonymously
- Keep updated on key issues with newsletters posted on the web and sent via e-mail
- We are a point of contact for exporting/manufacturing companies abroad.
