Business Review 1997-98

Conference and Exhibitions

During 1997/98 the Agency was represented at 13 conferences and exhibitions including the Southampton Boatshow in September, the Popular Flying Association annual rally, Truckfest at Edinburgh in August and the Confederation of Aerial Industries' Trade Fair at Heathrow in June.

In the Spring and early Summer of 1997 the Agency held a series of regional roadshows in Belfast, Edinburgh, Swansea, Newcastle, Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham, Taunton, Gatwick, Jersey, Norwich and Waltham Abbey (north London). This was the fourth year that the roadshows have been promoted, and they have proved to be very successful. The Agency has the opportunity to discuss current developments and policy matters with local customers, who in turn appreciate the chance to meet the Chief Executive and Directors as well as local Agency staff.

The Agency also supports the annual Young Amateur of the year award, which is run in conjunction with the Radio Society of Great Britain.
