The Textile Services Association (TSA) is returning to the Hilton at St Georges Park in Burton-upon-Trent for its Autumn Conference. The event is designed to give management teams the chance to meet and discuss the biggest issues and latest news affecting the laundry industry.
The Conference will take place on 16-17 October and will feature a range of workshops and sessions with the team from the TSA alongside experts giving insight on a wide range of vital topics. These topics were selected based on the results of a survey of TSA members aimed at learning the areas they wished to see discussed, to help make the conference as relevant as possible.
Sessions include NHS England Net Zero explaining how to ensure you can deliver a fully compliant tender for an NHS contract; as well as a session from Heather Grant, Principal Employment Law Adviser from Worknest, providing information about current and upcoming HR and employment law.
Other sessions will look at areas like fire prevention in laundries, recycling workwear garments, and measuring your microplastics footprint.
Attendees will also be treated to keynote addresses from inspirational speakers. The first to be announced is British Touring Car Championship driver Nicolas Hamilton, half brother of Lewis Hamilton, who will explain lessons he has learned from his career as the first disabled athlete to compete in the championship. He’ll talk about his determination not to let his cerebral palsy limit him, and the importance of ambition and teamwork in achieving your goals.
As well as this, an industry dinner will be held on the night of 16 October offering a chance to reconnect with colleagues across the industry in a more informal manner.
“The Autumn conference is a great way for management and leadership within the laundry industry to get together, build relationships and engage with the challenges and opportunities we’re currently grappling with,” says David Stevens, CEO of the TSA. “By working together we can help each other grow and develop.”
Tickets for the conference are £140+VAT, with an additional £50+VAT if you wish to attend the dinner. Hotel rooms can be booked for £125+VAT. For more information and to book spaces, download and complete the booking form from the events section at tsa-uk.org and send it to events@tsa-uk.org.
