Our Spring Reception this year will be an opportunity to meet Ministers and backbenchers, other members of the Industry Forum community and guests including the researchers, consultants and advisers who form part of the big influx of new faces contributing to the, still new and evolving, Labour administration. Our keynote speaker is Gareth Thomas MP, Minister for Services, Small Business and Exports. We are delighted that the reception will be sponsored by The Horticultural Trades Association and the British Coatings Federation.
