The Aims and Objectives of the PDA

The Pump Distributors Association (PDA) was

established in 1985 by leading and progressive

distributors of pumps and pumping accessories.

The PDA is the corporate representative body for the

pump distribution industry within the UK and

Ireland. Its aim is to promote the efficient and

effective use of quality products for the benefit of

users, whether companies or individuals. The PDA

has a code of conduct thus ensuring customer

satisfaction whilst upholding the high reputation of its

members. The code is binding on all members and

provision is made in the Association's Constitution for

investigation and arbitration in any cases of complaint.

The PDA acts as a forum for the acquisition and

dissemination of information relevant to members'

interests. In particular, the PDA has produced

guidance papers on training and safety within the

industry. The Association’s Web Site contains a vast

amount of pump related data, plus the guidance papers

on training and safety which have been produced for

the benefit of its members.

The Association’s Council consists of representatives

elected from member firms and meets on a regular

basis. The Council’s meetings are combined with

general membership meetings which are held in

central locations throughout the membership area.

These meetings enable the exchange of technical and

product data and enable discussion and dissemination

of ideas relating to the pump distribution industry.

Organisation

The policy of the Association is decided by the

Council. The day to day work is done by the

Association's Director who is the focal point of

contact for PDA activities and is retained by the

Association on a part-time basis.
