Door Industry Journal - Summer 2023

Also online at: www.dijonline.co.uk Industry News Mid-Year Review Highlights ADSA’s Achievements Ken Price, Managing Director of the Automatic Door Suppliers Association (ADSA), takes a timely look back on the first half of 2023 and flags up what’s on the horizon. We’re already halfway through the year! It hardly seems that long since we were contending with winter woes but in the blink of an eye, we’re six months into 2023. This point in the year is always a good stopping-off point: a chance to review our activity and see what we have achieved (and what’s still left to do!). We’ve made great progress in three key areas: competency, standards and member benefits. At the start of the year, we took a strategic approach to align ADSA with other organisations under our Better Together initiative. This included membership of the Joint Competency Initiative (JCI), the Trade Association Forum (TAF) and the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education’s (IfATE) Employer Directory. All these associations have provided us with opportunities to gain and demonstrate best practice. Through membership of TAF we are informed about ‘bigger picture’ issues and get the chance to be part of a solution to national political and economic problems The association has links with UK Government and industry leaders, and with more than 130 members – many within the construction industry – also facilitates learning and networking.
