A while back we were contacted by a reporter for the Sunday Express Magazine asking us for information on appliance in general and how they lasted. Of course the angle was that modern appliances are not lasting as long as older ones and, often, not performing as well either.
Of course we helped as much as we could and gave as much information as possible to help with the story.
In these times of soaring fuel costs, we are pleased to announce that WTA members are eligible for membership of a fuel discount scheme.
It promises a minimum saving of 2p/litre on any fuel purchase, with the possibility of more depending on market conditions with possible savings of up to 10p per litre for members.
Given that one of the major overheads of any service company is fuel, the WTA welcomes this initiative and especially thanks to Commitee Member Lawrence Carey for his work on this project.
The next whitegoods meeting has been scheduled for February 29th 2008 to be held at the Millers Hotel in Sibson once more. Of course the meeting is open to non-members as well as members to attend and entrance is free, so you can attend easily.
We are looking forward to some new product introductions, news on what the TA has been up to over the past few months and how it is progressing forward. We will have some update on taking the COP forward and working with the OFT to improve standards as well as updates on technical information and what we are doing about it.
As usual we expect it to be a very interesting day for all who attend.
As reported some time ago the trade association held its first official meeting at The Millers in Sibson n the 28th September this year.
Whilst, as usual, for these events there was a large element of social activity in the evening there was also some very serious discussion on the aims, aspirations and purpose of the Whitegoods Trade Association as we move forward. The elected group were of course massively enthusiastic and continue to drive the agenda of the WTA forward on a daily basis with ideas and strategies available in abundance in the effort to help the independents.
