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.
