NABMA Conference 12 - 14 September 2010, Buxton, Derbyshire

03 August 2010

The NABMA Annual Conference is always an important event for anyone interested in British markets. This year is no exception. It has just been confirmed that Andrew Stunell, M.P, Minister with responsibility for markets at CLG, will deliver a keynote speech at the conference on Monday 13th September.

On day two of the conference, John McHale, of Liverpool Trading Standards, will join with a representative of market operator, Groupe Geraud, to present a practical insight into the Real Deal campaign.

Patricia Lennon, Real Deal Campaign Coordinator will be on hand during both days of the conference to provide information and answer any questions. Liverpool City Council was one of the earliest adopters of the Real Deal scheme and it will be interesting to hear how it has been put into practice and the benefits it has delivered.

Real Deal: Notes for editors

The Real Deal national charter is designed to keep traders in counterfeit goods out of UK markets. It was launched at the Trading Standards Institute Annual Conference in Brighton on 30 June 2009. Initiated by the Industry Trust for Intellectual Property Awareness, the Real Deal campaign is supported by the UK-IPO; the Local Authorities Coordinators of Regulatory Services (LACORS); the Local Government Association (LGA); the Welsh Local Government Association (WLGA); the Trading Standards Institute (TSI); the National Association of British Market Authorities (NABMA); the Retail Markets Alliance (RMA); the Federation Against Copyright Theft (FACT) and the Alliance Against IP Theft. In effect, all the key organisations, with an interest in this issue in England and Wales, have joined forces under the Real Deal campaign banner to tackle the problem.
