Trade Associations Services narrowly miss out on awards
Trade Associations Services owners, the British Pest Control Association (BPCA) narrowly missed out on being named winners of the "Website of the Year" and "Exhibition of the Year" categories at the recent Trade Association Forum Best Practice Awards 2013.
This prestigious awards ceremony, run by the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) was held in London, and saw us go head to head with tough competition from across the world of UK trade associations. Attended by over 300 guests from trade associations across the UK, the Best Practice Awards allows trade associations to benchmark themselves against their peers from other sectors.
TAS Chief Executive Simon Forrester said, "we are absolutely gutted to have not come away with anything this year. However it's a great achievement for the Association to even be nominated for both awards - we only entered the two, and to be shortlisted for both shows the quality of the two projects." Mr Forrester added "I'd like to thank everyone involved in the production of the new website and the organisation of our exhibition - PestEx; without this support we wouldn't even have been nominated.
The evening was a celebration of best practice across the sector and highlighted the quality and value of trade associations. Marketing and Communications Officer Laurence Barnard said, "Even being nominated is a strong endorsement and reflects the high quality of the website and exhibition management. Hopefully next year we will go one step further and win."
