GIMA-LOFA seminar will bring you up to speed on working with agents

GIMA and LOFA have announced a new seminar for suppliers currently working with, or considering employing the services of, commercial sales agents.  The half-day event is to be held at the HTA on the 20 February.

 

A good commercial sales agent can be invaluable to your business, but what happens when you want to exit your agreement? Is there a contract in place?  Many companies are employing the services of agents without any form of contract or knowing where they stand legally with the partnership.

 

Sales agents are an integral part of the garden retail sales arena, many of whom work successfully on behalf of their clients and retail customers. As leading trade associations representing suppliers in the garden retail sector, GIMA & LOFA are aiming to ensure their members are fully informed about their rights and those of the sales agent.

 

Together the two associations are putting on a half-day seminar designed to bring attendees up to speed on all the issues they need to be aware of when employing agents.  At the end of the session, delegates will be taking away a blank agency agreement and the benefit of knowing where they stand with their relationships and how to move forward successfully.

 

The seminar is being delivered by Guy Bottard, a Partner and commercial law specialist at Maitland and Walker, where he provides practical advice to small and medium-sized businesses. 

 

The workshop is designed for any sales director, manager, business owner or principal who is involved in employing or working with sales agents, or anyone who is considering using agents in the future.

 

Cost – £95+VAT per delegate (GIMA/LOFA member); £150+VAT (non members). 9.30am – 2pm, Lunch and refreshments included

For further information call either of the trade associations directly:
