Our Association

About The RSMA

Originally established in 1976 the RSMA is one of the largest specialist trade bodies in the Highways sector, and has played a pivotal role in the development of the UK road marking industry. With a membership spanning the UK, Europe and beyond we are able to draw on a host of industry experts. We work with a number of Government bodies and industry partners to ensure our collective voice brings recognition, development and change to underpin our vision.

Primarily created to represent the voice of our members and the industry, we have now gained a strong reputation for training, standards and safe systems of work. We were the first specialist skills sector to develop a Specialist Applied-Skills Programme ensuring safe operatives for our members and across the wider industry. It is our aim to promote our industry as a key component of a safe and effective highways network.
