TSA
Roadshow – confirmed dates and your invitation to attend
Everyone involved in the
commercial laundry industry is invited to the TSA Roadshow events. They will be an informal forum, an open
evening where businesses can network and find out about the latest ideas, over
drinks and a buffet.
There are three Roadshows
confirmed, in Scotland, London and Birmingham.
All are open to both TSA members and non-members – indeed, the TSA is
keen to talk to laundries who are not yet members, to get their input on the
current state of the market.
“After two crushing years
we’ve learned a lot about what the industry needs,” says David Stevens, CEO of
the TSA. “Now it’s about surviving and
building a new, more robust business model for the future. That’s what the Roadshow is all about – what
do we need to do to ensure profitability and a happy, secure workforce? That’s why we want as many people to come
long as possible, so as to get as many ideas and points of view as we can.
“They will be informal and
informative, a relaxed environment where the industry can really talk.”
The Roadshows are also an
opportunity to meet the TSA team, to chat to them about issues they may be able
to help with, and find out more about the work they are doing in areas such as
sustainability, diversity, standards, research and government lobbying.
All begin at 6.30pm with a
reception followed by a brief introduction and a short presentation from an
industry speaker. The first one, on June
21, is at voco Grand Central, Glasgow, where Scott Inglis, commercial director
of Fishers Services Ltd will lead the conversation on ‘Doing laundry in
Scotland.’ Then on 19 July the London
venue is One Kew Road, with Joseph Ricci, president and CEO of TRSA (the
American Textile Rental Service Association) will share his experience as ‘It’s
been tough for all of us,’ and he’ll look at how the world’s largest market is
surviving. The Birmingham Roadshow is on
13 October, with the venue and speaker currently being finalised.
“We urge everyone to come
along, and to encourage colleagues in the industry to join in too,” says
Stevens. “It’s a chance to have your say
in what really matters.”
