Sarah was a guest at The Genesis Initiative’s breakfast at the House of Commons followed by the Genesis Senate meeting. The meeting was attended by a number of other trade associations and business heads and chaired by John May to discuss all that is happening across the country’s SME’s. The Senate consists of around 114 trade associations across the country covering all sectors and industries and The Giftware Association is proud to be amongst this select committee which also includes The British International Freight Association and The British Chamber of Commerce.
Sarah was armed with all the evidence from our members after months of trade shows, workshops and members visits up and down the country and hearing from our members first account experiences and concerns that need reporting to Government, and areas where SME’s need more help and support. Sarah focussed on the current shipping concerns and the knock-on effects of inflation to society, Brexit struggles and the recovery from the pandemic both within our industry and wider.
The meeting too place in The Palace of Westminster and was one of the first events back after the recess and one of The Genesis committees first in person events since the pandemic.
