BMI Icopal Celebrates Excellence and Clarity at 2025 IMA AGM

BMI ICOPAL hosted the annual Icopal Membrane Association (IMA) AGM on 5 June, bringing together members of its approved contractor scheme for a day of insights, recognition and technical updates.

This year’s AGM tackled one of the industry’s most pressing topics: the Building Safety Act (BSA). With confusion still widespread around contractor responsibilities under the new legislation, BMI used the event to host a dedicated Q&A session with its technical leads. Regional seminars, to follow later in the year, were also announced.

Simon Ashworth, IMA Chairman and Portfolio Manager for Flat Roofing at BMI Icopal, said: “IMA members are asking more questions about compliance, certification and the BSA than ever before. The legislation brings important improvements. But it also brings a lot of grey areas. We want to be the team that helps clear those up.

“Being an IMA member means being part of something bigger. You get technical support on site. You get exclusive access to product launches and business opportunities. That’s a level of support and advantage you won’t find anywhere else.”
