Just a few tickets left for the Congress in February
Virgin Hotels
Edinburgh, 1 India Buildings Victoria Street, Edinburgh, February 8-9 2023
The TSA’s National Congress
2023 is close to fully booked – so if you’re a laundry owner or a senior
executive and you’ve not got a ticket, it’s time to get a move on. Along with the opportunity to have your say
and make a contribution, it’s a chance to network with the movers and shakers
of the industry. In addition, there’s a
strong and stimulating speaker programme that’s designed to give insight and to
inspire.
The morning’s keynote address
will be given by polling expert and political scientist Sir John Curtice, who
the BBC describes as ‘the man who gets elections right.’ He is particularly interested in electoral
behaviour and researching political and social attitudes. He will take an authoritative and perceptive
look at how the current political scene is affecting our industry, focusing on
'Brexit: Where Do We Stand Now?', with special reference to the labour market.
Diversity consultant Rob
Adediran will talk about building an inclusive organisation. Rob is an advocate for inclusive leadership
in education and in business. He currently works at the Royal Academy of
Engineering overseeing, amongst other things, the development of a diversity
and inclusion mechanism for the UK engineering sector.
Meanwhile Dr Katie Laird of De
Montfort University (DMU) will unveil the latest information on the
university’s joint work with the TSA. Katie
is head of the Infectious Disease Research Group at DMU and will provide an
update on the processing methodology around the specific items required for residential
care and nursing homes. Her presentation
will be based on the DMU/TSA care home survey, looking at its ramifications for
the laundry industry, and how we can help this vulnerable sector.
TSA CEO David Stevens and the
TSA team will give an update on the Association’s other activities, including
the Infinite Textiles project. They’ll
take a look at the challenges the industry faces and the latest thinking in
terms of solutions and opportunities.
The 2023 Congress is at the
luxury Virgin Hotels Edinburgh, which is situated in the landmark India
buildings in the old town, and marries iconic Victorian architecture with
distinctive, contemporary design. TSA
has reserved a number of rooms available for delegates on the 8th of
February, for those attending the informal dinner, and 9th of
February, when the industry dinner will be held in Greyfriars Hall.
