After the election Louise said “I am really pleased to have been given the honour of joining the Amenity Forum Committee. It is vital that we have a joined up body to enable us to have a level playing field, if you excuse the pun, for the Amenity Industry and all those involved… I am looking forward to working as part of the Amenity Forum Committee ensuring our industry is fairly represented in all areas that affect us such as training, products and public education”.
