15 Oct Autumn meeting 2024 round-up
Thank you very much to members who attended last week’s Autumn meeting.
Once again, it was great to see the membership come together. Those in attendance gained a better understanding of important industry issues and had the benefit of networking with another.
For the second meeting running, Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) was the main focus. Jamie Mcleod of Crowe UK returned to the Leonardo Hinckley Island Hotel with an update on the current state of play, whilst BIAFD chair Ian Doherty and BIAFD policy adviser Phil Matten presented a range of CBAM software solutions.
Phil Matten then delivered a presentation on regulatory updates including Extended Producer Responsibility, before an economic and FX was provided for members.
Headline sponsor EazyStock delivered a session on their services and capabilities before the day was wrapped up with the association’s AGM.
Ian said: “The last two meetings have shown how important a trade association is when there are industry challenges.
“BIAFD’s mission is to keep members better informed, better protected and better support and based on the feedback we’ve received I think we can safely say we’ve achieved that.
“I’d like to thank members for their continued support and a special thanks must go to headline sponsor EazyStock and premium sponsor Epicor for supporting the event.”
