    WTA Website wrote:As most people who have attended in the past the whitegoods conference is a unique and dynamic event that is often centred around current affairs within the industry allowing the content to be tailored even until the evening before. For this reason among others it is not possible to fully document quite what subjects will be discussed but, we’re very sure that it will be as interesting and entertaining as ever.

    I can’t remember what time the conference is meant to start. Each time I arrive there, often I have 5 mins to spare to catch my breath and gulp coffee. I’d like to have more time to breath and sip coffee this time round.

    Normally, a 9:30 kick off is aimed for but it has been known to drift slightly although, not too much.

    I would think that this time around it will be as close as possible as there’s a fair bit to be getting on with. 😉

    Sorry if I appear to be daft, is £67 per night or for the duration of two nights?

    Per night I’m afraid.

    Saying that, it’s £40-50 at a PTI usually.

    You’ll be lucky to get that price ken normally it’s £60 – £90 at a Premire in without breakfast in a city area unless you book months in advance.

    I think we get good value for the size of the Hotel and at least you do not bump in to
    Lenny Henry. 😀

    The breakfast is better than the PT Inns I have stayed at and the cheap rooms advertised are always booked. 😯

    Keep up the good work Brian as the price has stayed the same since we started using the Hilton.

    See you in March

    Ok so a bit of meat on the bones as it were…

    Taking on board comments from last year we have been able to attract some interesting speakers ,we have a presentation entitled “so you want to be gas safe ” basically all you need to know about becoming qualified for gas, this will be done by a tutor and assessor from Colchester institute.

    We also have a presentation regarding customer service skills,i.e how to talk to the customers etc.

    As well as a WTA update ,there will be the usual talks and presentations some of which will have to remain under wraps for the moment ,sorry to be cryptic but all I can say is if we pull it off it will be something never done before and will have people talking.

    In the stands area we have –
    AWS
    Masterpart
    Connect
    Vulkan Lokring
    Accutest
    Qualtex
    Purple Polly (work wear and promotional items)
    Portway
    Amica
    Swift Electrical
    Pik A Pak
    Statesman
    Witt
    RepairTech

    There will be reps available to speak to and promotional offers,as well as some new products being unveiled ,some of which are UK exclusives,also for the first time we have some industry press coming as well.

    I know we say this every year ,but this year looks to be the best yet.
    If you have never been before,this one is the ideal one to come to for the first time,if you have been before,this one should be even better than before,if you are undecided,can you afford not to be there,if you have decided not to come we will maybe see you next year

    just booked a room and reserved spaces for myself and Lynne, my Secretary. (She is also my wife 🙁 )

    looking forward to seeing the gang again. I have not been to a meeting for a couple of years.
