Welcome to the 2027 Trade Association Awards!
These awards recognise, reward and promote best practice among trade associations in the UK.
This prestigious award ceremony is eagerly anticipated by trade associations across the UK as a chance to showcase their hard work and achievements.
These industry-recognised awards are supported by the Department of Business, Innovation, Science and Trade (BIST), which is a longstanding member of our independent final judging panel.
The Trade Association Awards support the success of trade associations and their staff at all levels, helping them move closer to their goals while expanding their learning and development opportunities.
Receiving a Trade Association Award means your organisation has the kudos of being award-winning. On top of that, it is an excellent opportunity to showcase your organisation and its expertise among your contemporaries and encourage others to follow your lead on running a successful organisation which focuses on members’ needs.
By entering, you can benchmark your organisation against other UK trade associations, sharpen the focus of your organisation and its activities, learn from trade association best practice and motivate and reward your colleagues.
Your success will initially be shared with guests from the UK’s premier trade associations at the awards evening in February 2027 at the Intercontinental Park Lane in, London and then promoted through press releases, the TAF website and social media channels to ensure your excellence is recognised.
TAF’s role is encouraging the development and sharing of best practice among UK trade associations and promoting the role of effective trade associations to government, industry and the wider public.
Set up in 1997, TAF continues to provide a forum for associations to share best practice and drive standards.
TAF represents more than 180 UK-based trade associations who in turn represent more than 200,000 businesses across the country and from every sector.
TAF is managed by a volunteer board of association leaders drawn from our members
