hi guys, I am sure that I speak for all here in thanking Wal for making time to speak on our industry's behave. The powers that be have at last recognised that the industry does have someone who knows what he is talking about and who can offer solutions to some of our governance short comings, cheers

The Social Services Committee invited the Chairman of the Federation to speak with them for half an hour on 24 May 2017. This was a public hearing and a number of interested people attended.
Wal Gordon spoke and answered questions pertaining to the Plumbers Gasfitters and Drainlayers Board performance, Government Ministers performance and relationships, training provided by the Industry Training Organisation, the cost of having apprentices and the return, the cost of regulation and the future of occupational regulation.
The Federation’s views were well received generating pertinent questions. It was a well spent 30 minutes. The Federation will be sending a follow up letter to members of the committee with additional information seeking their help to right the wrongs the industry faces.

Robbo - I absolutely agree with your sentiments. I don't know if many people on this forum realise the hours and and hours that Wal Gordon puts into the Federation and Industry generally for no financial reward. In fact I would go so far as to say his involvement in the Federation has probably been at the expense of his own business. As an industry we should be eternally grateful to this man for his selflessness, his willingness to go to bat on our behalf and his immense generosity with his time. Thanks Wal - and here's hoping you made a lasting impression on the Social Services Committee.

Amen to that Jax, it is important for everyone to do their bit however small.
Well done Wal, the man sitting on the W C pan outside parliment all those years ago!
