THE GLAMPING INDUSTRIES TRADE ASSOCIATION (UK) ANNOUNCES NEW MEMBER BENEFIT

The UKs new glamping trade body, the Glamping Industries Trade Association (GITA(UK)), this week announced the launch of a new member-only business advice line and document library covering Human Resources, Health & Safety, Legal Advice, and Tax & VAT.

Available from February 5th, the service, called GITA Business Support, will provide unlimited access for GITA(UK) members to policy templates and specialist advisors.  These will be able to guide the member on best practices for managing specific situations, or explain more generally what a member needs to know and do in each of these critical business functions. Supported by an encyclopaedia of instructive documents, webinars, and online videos – as well as downloadable templates, this service is set to transform the value-adding benefit of being a member of GITA(UK).

“Having worked in trade associations all my life, I know just how valuable this type of service can be to members,” commented GITA(UK) Executive Manager, John White. “Those that have used it tell me that it’s paid for their subscription many times over.  I would encourage anyone who is not a member of GITA(UK) to sign up and get access to this service.”

GITA(UK) Board Member, Richard Coulter, has used the service in the past and added: “There is no doubt the service has made us both a better business, by helping get the right policies and procedures in place, but has also saved us thousands in legal bills by guiding us through some difficult staff issues.”
The new service will be launched at the Association’s all-members meeting on 5th February, with a presentation from the scheme providers, Quest Cover, which has over 500 membership bodies as customers. GITA(UK) members will hear how the scheme works, take a look at the content and get immediate access to its benefits.
