On Friday 17 July 2026, the BPMA Graduation Ceremony returned to the House of Commons for a sun-filled afternoon celebrating the achievements of this year’s TPM and CPM graduates.

The BPMA Education Programme is the association’s online professional development programme, tailored specifically to the promotional merchandise sector and created by industry experts. Two levels are available to BPMA members: Trained in Promotional Merchandise (TPM) and Certified in Promotional Merchandise (CPM). In 2025, the programme proudly achieved CPD accreditation with the Association for Accredited Learning.

The event began with a champagne reception, networking and bowl food, as guests enjoyed stunning views across the Thames. Graduates connected with fellow learners, colleagues and industry peers before the official ceremony began.

BPMA CEO Phil Goodman and BPMA Chair Clive Allcott then took to the stage to formally open the afternoon’s ceremony. Goodman shared a brief industry update before recognising the hard work, dedication and achievements of the graduates. Allcott then invited each graduate to the stage to receive their certificate and officially graduate from the BPMA’s Education Programme.

Following the formal ceremony, cocktails were served and celebrations and networking continued into the early evening.

The BPMA would like to thank everyone who attended and helped make the event such a memorable occasion and extends its warmest congratulations to all those recognised.
