Design Business Association
The DBA was founded in 1986 when design first became recognised as a significant business sector in its own right. A non-profit making organisation, it is run by members for members, and as such, is dedicated to representing the interests of design businesses of all disciplines.
Their objectives are:
to promote design as an effective and measurable contributor to the commercial success of a business
to promote best professional practice in the provision, management and purchasing of design
to continuously develop relevant services for design businesses to help them succeed in a competitive market
