The CEA Commitment
We know that the vast majority of CEA members are suffering from an unprecedented market downturn. Certainly we know that in our long experience in and around the industry we have never seen anything like it. With a challenge like this it is the time to work together – and for your trade association to show a lead. In this NewsOnLine we cover 10 ways in which we are striving to help your business. As ever, we need your input to ensure we do the right things to represent your interests.
