Specialist ablution product innovator joins the Association as its membership continues to grow across the wider bathroom sector
The Bathroom Association has welcomed WuduMate into its growing membership, adding valuable expertise in inclusive washroom design and specialist ablution products to its expanding industry community.
Established in 2007, UK-based WuduMate designs and supplies purpose-built ablution and foot-washing products for prayer and multi-faith spaces. Its products are used in mosques, workplaces, hospitals, schools, airports, public buildings, and homes worldwide, enabling people to perform wudu safely, comfortably, and with dignity.
The company has supplied products to more than 60 countries across six continents. Its range has developed through close engagement with users, architects, specifiers and facilities professionals, ensuring that practical considerations including safety, hygiene, accessibility and ease of installation are addressed from the earliest stages of design.
WuduMate’s membership further broadens the knowledge and experience represented within the Bathroom Association. It also reflects the Association’s continued growth by bringing together manufacturers, distributors, merchants, retailers and specialist businesses across the bathroom supply chain.
Daphne Doody-Green, CEO of the Bathroom Association, said:
“WuduMate has identified a very specific need and developed products that improve safety, dignity and inclusion for people using prayer and multi-faith facilities. That combination of user-led design, technical expertise and purposeful innovation will add a valuable new perspective to our membership.
“The Bathroom Association is growing because more businesses recognise the need for stronger connections across our industry. The challenges and opportunities facing the sector do not sit neatly within one part of the supply chain, so the wider the expertise represented within our community, the more useful and influential our collective work becomes.
“WuduMate’s international experience will also bring an important dimension to our conversations about product compliance, inclusive design and the changing expectations placed on modern washroom spaces. We look forward to working with the WuduMate team.”
Andy Baines, Joint Managing Director of WuduMate, said:
“Joining the Bathroom Association gives us an opportunity to contribute our specialist knowledge to a much wider industry conversation.
“WuduMate was created to solve a genuine problem. Too often, people performing wudu have been expected to use facilities that are unsafe, uncomfortable or simply unsuitable. We have spent nearly two decades listening to users and working with architects, specifiers and organisations to provide a better solution.
“We share the Association’s belief that progress comes from bringing different perspectives together. We look forward to exchanging knowledge with fellow members, contributing to discussions around inclusive design and product standards, and helping the wider sector understand how thoughtfully designed bathroom and washroom spaces can better serve diverse communities.”
The Bathroom Association’s purpose is expressed through three commitments: Insight, Influence and Impact.
Through Insight, members gain access to market intelligence, technical expertise and industry knowledge that support better-informed business decisions.
Through Influence, the Association provides a stronger collective voice on the regulations, standards and policy decisions affecting the bathroom sector in the UK and internationally.
Through Impact, members work together to turn shared knowledge and industry representation into practical progress, supporting higher standards, reduced environmental impact and sustainable market growth.
WuduMate’s membership strengthens each of these areas by bringing specialist knowledge of ablution products, inclusive facilities and international markets into the Association’s work.
