On 12th February the webinars continue with a session on “Customer Service - How to get it right”, before the second buying decision webinar focuses on wood- burning stoves.

“This is just the start”, said Derry. “We have plans for webinars covering Health and Safety; Sustainability, Cleaning, Cooking and Changeovers, plus more buying decision sessions and more member meetings. With member numbers ticking up week by week I am sure these are all going to be lively sessions.”
