ENGAGEMENT WITH GOVERNMENT REGULATORS

A Voice for the Industry in Whitehall

Any good Trade Association has a fundamental obligation to represent its members in the corridors of government power and the PPMA is actively working to meet this objective. Indeed the current CEO has two years direct experience working in the UK Cabinet Office on reducing the burden of regulation on British industry. Regular meetings are secured with Ministers and their senior decision makers providing members with an opportunity to influence the future course of legislation.

Alliances with other leading Trade Associations

Recognising that there is greater strength in numbers the PPMA is an active member of the Engineering and Machinery Alliance (EAMA) – a group of six similar associations who collectively represent over 1000 SME’s. They also sit on the CBI sponsored Trade Association Forum Steering Group which works to set both high standards for UK Trade Associations and facilitates a variety of opportunities to engage with government regulators.
