The event is open to members and non-members alike, with a discounted price for existing PATTA members. Included with every full price ticket is 12 months’ complimentary membership of the Portable Appliance Testing Trade Association (PATTA), giving you access to ongoing support, resources and a growing community of PAT Testing professionals.
Guest speakers include Lewis Collantine from the Product Safety Collective, Chattertons Solicitors on the importance of contracts when employing staff and using subcontractors, and Liam Reed, our resident sales expert, sharing proven strategies to help you win more business.
You’ll also have the opportunity to take part in our “Ask the Founders Anything” session with Tim James and Richard Ayre, where you can ask questions about PATTA, business growth, industry challenges and the future of the profession.
Tea and coffee will be available on arrival, lunch is included, and there will be plenty of opportunities throughout the day to network with fellow PAT testers from across the country.
