2009 comments

“For LBRO, the conference is an excellent opportunity to engage with trading standards professionals and this partnership is one of the essential elements in furthering better regulation. Every year we make a real connection, get our messages over and in return come away with valuable insight”.
Graham Russell, Chief Executive, Local Better Regulation Office (LBRO)

“The Trading Standards Institute consumer affairs and trading standards annual conference and exhibition is a 'must-do' in ACG's events diary.  Around 30 of our members participate in the exhibition each year, and 90% of the ACG stands on offer in 2009 were reserved by members within a week of circulating the details!   
ACG members consistently report high footfall throughout and appreciate the chance to network with such a large cross-section of key stakeholders visiting their stands.  The conference/exhibition are of unique benefit to IP rights holders, and we are expecting an even higher turn-out of ACG exhibitors next year, despite the downturn in the market.  So we are already looking forward to yet another successful TSI conference in 2010!”.
Ruth Orchard, Director General, Anti Counterfeiting Group

“TSI annual conference is the highlight of the working calendar for trading standards professionals who no longer work in local authority. It is the one event where we can meet our peers and strengthen our knowledge and as importantly, our networks”.
Ellen Morgan, Secretary, SOLAM

“Constellation Europe Ltd has worked with the Trading Standards Institute for the past eight years. During this time a very positive working relationship has developed with officers and within regional offices.  The conference is a good platform to reach all the relevant trading standards personnel enabling us to display the problems with our business, but more importantly to offer help to train and share contacts to ease the burden of officers’ daily tasks”.  George E Savage, Contract Manager, Constellation Europe

“Over the years TSI Conference has gained the reputation of being one of the major annual events for the diary, and French Solutions has welcomed the opportunity to exhibit their products and services, along with other business partners, in such a key environment.  It has also, proved the perfect venue for meeting potential new clients and renewing valuable contacts. But one of the major contributions to the continued success of conference, is the professional organization, whose staff are always on hand to offer help and support. Therefore, as an exhibitor, French Solutions had no hesitation, in registering their interest for 2010”.
Joan Bradley, Company Secretary, French Solutions Ltd

“Consumer protection is a vital and vibrant issue and is critical to consumers and to business alike.  The British Toy and Hobby Association has been delighted to have been a part of the TSI annual conference over many years and I would commend it to exhibitors, delegates and speakers as a key event in the calendar”.
Roland Earl, Director General of BTHA
