RELATIONS BETWEEN ASSOCIATIONS CONTINUE TO STRENGTHEN
Chairman Paul Luff and CEO Kay Porter met with both ASCER and Confindustria Ceramica, at Cersaie in September. The collaboration with both European trade associations grows from strength to
strength. A range of partnership initiatives were discussed for 2024 which will enable our members to visit Italian and Spanish factories on funded trips.
KAY PORTER RE-ELECTED TO BUILD UK BOARD
Earlier this year, Kay Porter, our CEO was once again voted onto the Build UK Board to represent the specialist trade association members of Build UK. We are delighted that TTA is able to input the valuable work Build UK do to represent the construction industry, and Kay is looking forward to working with fellow Build UK Directors and the team.
