News Item: EHA Will Be Represented on the All Party Parliamentary Group for Events
The Office of Daniel Greenberg, the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards, has confirmed the reformation of the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for Events.
An APPG is a cross-party group consisting of members from both Houses of Parliament and representatives from its supported industry sector, acting as that sector’s voice in Westminster.
The APPG for Events will provide a forum for the highly diverse and valuable UK events industry, engaging with representatives from across the political spectrum. The group will play a vital role in keeping the events industry high on the parliamentary agenda.
Shaun Davies, Member of Parliament for Telford (Labour) was formally elected as Chair of the APPG. In addition, three further Officers were also nominated and elected: Jack Rankin, Member of Parliament for Windsor (Conservative), David Baines, Member of Parliament for St Helens North (Labour) and Gill German, Member of Parliament for Clwyd North (Labour).
Event Hire Association is delighted to announce that Stuart Slaughter, managing director of Plato Catering Hire and Chair of the EHA Event Equipment Board will represent association members in the group.
Stuart said “I’m really delighted to be elected to the APPG and will ensure EHA members’ interests and views are strongly represented”.
