CRoP Clinics to help HTA members save money



The HTA will be holding Cost Reduction Programme (CRoP) Clinics at the end of February, where HTA members can meet CRoP partners and learn how to reduce costs to their business.

Two free events will take place over two days providing the opportunity for members to network, meet their Regional Business Manager and find out about the savings available to them through their HTA membership.

CRoP partners including 2Circles, Alpha Packaging, B2B Links, Barclaycard, Citation, Ecovision, Garden Radio, HTA Utilities, Paskett PR, SWR and HTA Insurance will present their business offers and will also be available to chat one-to-one with members.

Members are advised to bring bills and statements in order to make the most of this opportunity to save money and reduce their business costs.

A free lunch will be provided by the venue for attendees at the events which take place on:

  • Tuesday 24 February, Gardman Showroom, Peterborough
  • Wednesday 25 February, William Sinclair, Ellesmere Port

To reserve places members are advised to contact their Regional Business Manager.
