BMRA is pleased to announce that its Annual Dinner will, once again, be held at the Royal Lancaster Hotel near Hyde Park in London on Friday 13 November 2026.
The Annual Dinner is an excellent opportunity for you to entertain suppliers and customers, reward staff, meet old friends, and make new business contacts.
Networking event
The day starts at 3pm with the networking event, which is free for members to exhibit or attend. Meet a host of BMRA service members and enjoy a free drink. You can also take advantage of the 20% discount on all drinks (except full bottles of spirits or champagne) whilst attending the networking event. To exhibit at the networking event, email [email protected].
Pre-dinner drinks
Join the pre-dinner drinks reception from 6.30pm ahead of the sit-down meal commencing at 7.30pm.
We are pleased to confirm that we are maintaining last year's ticket price of £255 plus VAT per person. However you can take advantage of the early bird price of £225 plus VAT per ticket if you book before Friday 16th October.
Preferential accommodation rates are available at the Royal Lancaster Hotel for BMRA members attending this event at a rate of £464 (including VAT). Price includes the full breakfast buffet. To book hotel rooms for the Royal Lancaster please click here to book online or call the reservations team on 0207 551 6000 stating you are booking for the British Metals Recycling Association event to ensure you receive the special rate.
We have also secured a limited number of rooms at the same rate for the Saturday night so why not make a weekend of it and take advantage of the special hotel rate. Maybe bring your partner or friend and spend a weekend shopping, visit one of London’s many sights, or take in a show. Book soon though as these will sell out quickly.
You can also find a link on the booking form for alternative hotel accommodation in the area.
BMRA members can login to access the booking forms which outline all the information you need to book places at the dinner and hotel accommodation.
For any questions please email [email protected].
Sponsorship
Take the opportunity to promote your business through one of the many sponsorship opportunities on offer. All sponsors will be offered the chance to advertise in the menu booklet which is given to all attendees on the evening. Where possible, all sponsors have visible advertising on the night. Sponsors are also acknowledged on BMRA social media channels, the BMRA website and the printed magazine, Scrapbook.
The Annual Dinner is when the BMRA presents its Lifetime Achievement Award.
Do you know someone who has dedicated their life to the metal recycling industry and deserves recognition for their achievements?
The recipient of the award is selected by the BMRA board. It is awarded based on the individual's contribution to the industry in any area, be it on an individual basis, as part of a wider organisation/association, as well as having been in the industry for a number of years.
