IN 2016, ONE OF THE MLA’ s core strategies was to increase the awareness of the importance of using MLA members,” explains Director of Business Development, Steffan George.“ With this in mind, the MLA has trialled a host of consumer oriented exhibitions this year. Lockex 2016 allowed us to highlight this promotional work to potential new members, allowing us to cement our presence as the main industry body.
“ So why should you join the Master Locksmiths Association?” Steffan asks.“ As well as the significant promotion that is on offer to Approved Company members through the highly ranking‘ Find a Locksmith’ website and our MLA Handbook, which
|
gets distributed to insurers, police, government departments, consumer organisations etc., there are various other benefits that all members can enjoy.” |
