About us
Founded in 1962 we are the membership society for all former employees of bp.
The bp society has 11 regions who organise around 200 subsidised events each year all over the UK. In addition, there are many informal gatherings of former bp staff up and down the UK. We are a lively, enthusiastic, active organisation, a bit like an open club and are very keen to hear about new ideas and suggestions. This is your club – get in touch with us, make new friends and renew contacts and links from your bp days.
