What we need is a fed who does not have underlying interests like selling there own equipment etc.

The underlying fact about advertising your own equipement is like the 'First Commercial Mag' for window cleaners. As stated on there site.

There was great debate about this mag with boys/girls returning from windex.

The basis was on safty with vans and the water tanks they carry. What would happen in a crash etc.

It looked like there product was the only one certified.

There was no other mention of other companies or there products. EOE.

The mag seemed to be based mainly on there own equipment.

Now I have no axe to grind so to speak because as far as I am aware there equipment is good.

What would be great is a trade ass that had unbias motives.

Wires crossed here, I agree what you’re saying about PWC mag and BWCA but the fed of window cleaners selling window cleaning stuff is different as they sell slots in there mag, to anyone that won’t to advertise not just one company

Sorry Pole Man,

The FMWC I think is not bad at all.

They have not long started running a one day health and safty course endorsed by the Health and Safty council. Looks a good course and would be good when showing on ones. promotional lit

I was referring to the WCA site.

Best Trade Association? None of them as it stands at present.
APWC-Defunct
FWC- On it's knees
BWCA- The Ionics Organisation

The AWPC was supposed to be it, cannot comment what went wrong or what the state is but have to say all credit to the guys they have tried their best.

I can vouch it is hard work.
