I have had enough of this ..
Nigel a few facts for you –1.
All WTA members have a minimum of £2Million public liability insurance and Employers liability cover where required FACT2.
The code of practice is there to protect the consumer and the repairer When we spoke to the OFT head of consumer protection in person
(I was there ) we were told that our COP was suitable to all current standards in our sector , barring a couple of small additions which were then made , we have happy shopping in place and also consumer feedback cards as Ken has suggested .
If the COP is OK for the body that oversees consumer protection for the government then its okay for me,and credit should go to those that created it in the first place ,and have updated it subsequently.FACT3.
Members old and new joined the WTA under the premise of adhering to the COP as it was on joining and after any and all subsequent revisions there has always been an accountability structure in place to protect the consumer.FACT4.
We have put the WTA under the scrutiny of a Government department it has passed FACT5.
We were approached by a manufacturer to provide service provision for there products BECAUSE we are accountable and measurable due to our members complying to the COP as part of there membership.FACT
Take a look at other industry codes of practice very few pre-vet members
as its not a very economical way of working ,its like an MOT or CRB check its only relevant on the day of inspection, better to have an ongoing means of checks and balances that will trip up the rogue traders.Having said all that if you have a particular viewpoint about the WTA and some of its members which I believe you do ,then regardless of what we all say you will always disagree …
You may see it as constructive I do not.If you feel there is a better or different way then go for it, start an association that does all the things you want it to,if you achieve it then I will be the first to congratulate you
As I said to you from the front at Coventry I would rather say I failed trying to change things ,than let it be said that I failed to try .Now its your turn ……
