You also state in your list of aims that you will help members grow and expand their business. Can you tell me by what methods this will be achieved?
The network already has a growing body of members who already share information and technical knowledge freely through a dedicated (private) Facebook forum.
The Facebook forum isn’t the one everyone knows about; it is a secret group only seen by members, and by invitation only once you have joined.
The PTN website contains a directory of members, and this website already has a very strong presence on the web, growing every day. The website allows customers to find a trusted and regulated member close to them, and already we are monitoring ‘click-throughs’ from customers direct to our members sites.
Similarly, by promoting the network across a variety of different channels, especially the internet, the network will provide a profile boost to all of its members, and of course members can already use the PTN logo on their websites, paperwork etc, to prove to potential customers that they care enough about their industry to join and support a professional association committed to raising standards in the industry.
