2005 NTDA conference heads to Harrogate

Following its annual conference held in Marbella in September, the NTDA has decided to hold its 2005 follow up event in Harrogate alongside Brityrex next spring.

As reported in November’s Tyres & Accessories the association felt it would be beneficial to hold an interim event to provide an opportunity to up date the industry on how the many actions arising from the September event were progressing.

The decision to hold the conference alongside Brityrex was taken at last week’s meeting of the NTDA National Executive Council, who also agreed to hold their next meeting in Harrogate alongside the show.

John Tarbox, NTDA national vice chairman, commented: “We feel the timing and location are absolutely right for our conference next year and we expect extensive support from throughout the Industry.

“Details are yet to be finalised but we envisage the conference to take place on Monday 9th May which will enable delegates to visit the show from Tuesday10th May onwards.

“We also intend to hold a social event the night before to allow delegates ample networking opportunities – such an important part of all NTDA events.”

NTDA director Richard Edy, added: “2005 is a busy year for exhibitions in the UK and Europe, and, as an Association we felt that Brityrex, being the only dedicated tyre industry event, would provide an ideal backdrop to this important event in our calendar next year.”
