Last Thursday 17th December 2009 the Chairman of Promota, Rod Duncan wrote to Promota members informing them that they were withdrawing from the merger. As of 22nd December the bpma has not directly received any communication from Promota notifying us of the fact. Included in this letter were a number of comments and a copy of a letter sent to the BPMA. Unfortunately Promota didn’t send a copy of the letter sent by Gill Thorpe in response.
As you are aware the merger talks have been going on for some time, all with the aim from the bpma side of moving the industry forward and offering an even better service to members. Unfortunately Promota do not seem to agree with the concept of one industry one voice.
Whilst these protracted talks have been going on, the board of the bpma supported by the secretariat have continued to work tirelessly to improve member services. The bpma is a forward thinking association, dynamic and energised for the long term future of the industry. Click more info to read Gill Thorpe, BPMA Chairwomen’s reponse letter to Promota members.
