Promoting Professionalism and Integrity within the Wedding Industry
We've Changed Our Name
When we formed The Network of Bridal Professionals in July 2013, we quickly realised by the response that this was something the UK wedding industry had been crying out for.
Through the comments made at the FOCUS meeting we held that same September, it was apparent that something more than just a networking group was wanted. As a result of this momentum and feedback the Network of Bridal Professionals has changed its name to National Association of Wedding Professionals (NAWP). We feel this far better reflects the purpose of the company and is more relevant to those that will be our members.
"NAWP is an organization that has been needed in the wedding industry for a long time. It combines the best of everything you could want from an organisation.
First, members of NAWP are incredibly supportive of one another. Since joining, I have always felt that the people of NAWP want to see each other succeed and are willing to help each other in any way possible.
Second, the caliber of members means that there is always a mentor available. Because many of us work on our own, this is invaluable.
Third, the events that are put on are often really fun. From networking cocktails to weekends away, there are often opportunities to get to know others in the wedding industry better which makes working more fun and less lonely.
Finally, the accreditation system means that members are held to a high standard. From checking insurance documents to getting referrals, NAWP takes integrity and good business practices seriously which means that brides and grooms benefit from their diligence and suppliers' membership. "
