Those same forces have now radically changed the professional pet industry.

Because, effective today, you can now join the British Isles Grooming Association (BIGA) for only £50 per year.

Yes. You read that correctly. £50. This applies whether you are an individual or a pet grooming business.*

Better yet - your business membership comes as a BIGA Bundle. This means you can have up to five of your staff sign up as members. Use all five, and that's just £10 each per year.

This isn't a special deal. This is the new normal membership fee.**

Is BIGA getting desperate?

Nope. We are simply moving with the times in which we live.

Technology today has enabled us to do more for less. We don't need premises. We don't need full-time salaried employees. We don't need to spend money on printing and posting.

And because BIGA is not-for-profit (this is YOUR association), there is no point making more money than we have to. You still get the normal benefits of a dedicated trade association - but we're listening to our members to deliver the concrete features you care about plus increase pet owner awareness about the health and welfare benefits of regular grooming.

Membership includes:
* the credibility of belonging to a professional trade association
* a window sticker for your premises and use of the logo on your website and literature
* business listing on the public-facing website www.mypetgroomer.co.uk
* access to the interactive membership website www.mybiga.org for support and communication between members
* strong social media presence and forums dedicated to members
* access to all business and education resource documents on www.mybiga.org
* an annual BIGA conference with seminars, demos, fun competition, and goody bag
* downloadable member certificate to print off and display in your salon
* advice and information on all education routes. We recognise ALL your achievements!
* tailor-made discounts from suppliers

* plus regular industry updates and feel-good news

Best of all, you get a voice.

We keep getting BIGA and better.
