Session
The Association has been working closely with both Trading Standards and the IPO for the past few years including our partnership with the ‘Tick Box’ Campaign, which many members have joined. As a result, trading standards officers now have a greater understanding of the industry and we, in turn, have an improved awareness of how Trading Standards operate. So, what are the outcomes from this partnership and how has it/will it affect self storage?
