We are the official Trade Association for professional Sales Agents in the UK and Ireland.
We are the only, membership owned, not for profit, Commercial Agents’ organisation in the UK and Ireland.
We represent our Agents at a national and international level, offering the peace of mind, that should one of our members need advice, we are here to assist.
We work on your behalf and have our members best interests at heart. Our volunteer board, are Sales Agents like you, striving to ensure agents throughout the UK and Ireland are represented in a professional way.
What is it that all MAA Members have in common?
They all sell on a commission basis. And that’s about it! Some are one-man businesses, some employ many people. Some are Sole Traders, some are Partnerships and some are Limited Companies.
They sell to a wide variety of outlets such as retailers, businesses, hospitals, wholesalers, TV Shopping Channels, and international distributors. In fact – almost anywhere there’s something to be sold there’s an Agent! Some work only in a few counties, some straddle the globe. Some make a lot of money, some only a little; most make a comfortable living once established.
The MAA is the longest established not for profit, trade association for professional Agents, for new Agents and for aspiring Agents.
For Agents the MAA offers such a multitude of benefits at a low cost that joining us seems the sensible thing to do!
Our International Partners
The MAA has been a member of IUCAB (Internationally United Commercial Agents & Brokers) since the start in 1953.
It is due to the efforts of IUCAB and the MAA that agency law now exists throughout Europe.
Membership of IUCAB is limited to membership owned Agents associations with written constitutions and elected governing bodies.
IUCAB holds annual Delegate meetings for association Presidents and Secretaries in different countries each year and periodic Congresses to which all Agents are invited.
The IUCAB web page www.iucab.com has further information and is a useful source for Principals seeking Agents in foreign countries as all the IUCAB members have contact details or website links here.
