BMA strengthens secretariat team with two new appointments

The Bathroom Manufacturers Association (BMA) has made two appointments to its secretariat team. Late in 2022, Lisa Carnwell, pictured right, joined the association as communications manager, replacing Ciara Jagger. Earlier this month, Jane Blakeborough, pictured left, became BMA’s new research manager, creating a new role for the association. 

Prior to joining the BMA, Lisa spent over 20 years in communications, mainly within the trade press. She has edited various titles covering construction, BIM, health, UK and European government policy, technology, and transport. 

Jane is a familiar face to many in the KBB sector, having founded and run KBB industry trend analyst Trend-Monitor since 2004. By joining the association team, Jane will bring a new capability to deliver manufacturer members more insights more frequently. 

BMA chief executive Tom Reynolds welcomed Lisa and Jane: “The Bathroom Manufacturers Association has a small but dedicated secretariat team, determined to deliver for our members. Lisa and Jane are great additions, providing new research capabilities to the association and the ability to deliver our message effectively.”
