HTMA Launches Membership Campaign
An organisation of the leading highways maintenance companies within the UK is increasing its influence within the industry by opening its doors to a new set of potential members.
The Highways Term Maintenance Association (HTMA), the UKs only trade body dedicated exclusively to representing the UK highways maintenance industry, is offering associate membership to smaller companies that are active in the highways maintenance market and whose products and services support the development of quality, safety, overall industry efficiency and good practice.
"This is an opportunity for companies and organisations with a wide-ranging portfolio of highways industry services and products to have a more influential role in the highways sector." HTMA Chairman Mike Notman said.
"It is also of particular value to companies who provide specialised services to the industry, but who want to raise their profile among key decision-makers within the maintenance community and bring innovations to market working together with the leading service providers."
