AskTRADA Brings In 100 New Members

Edited by the Buildingtalk editorial team Jul 11, 2003

In just six months since the launch of its web-based knowledge resource, askTRADA, the Timber Research and Development Association has attracted more than 100 new members.

However, according to TRADA Chief Executive Andrew Abbott, the total also includes Corporate members, either 'keen to take advantage of the links to customers through askTRADA's supplier's directory, or who believe membership will add further credibility to their operations.

Many of the new members have said that they rate very highly the quality of information TRADA provides.' The supplier directory has generated more than 1,000 business enquiries for Corporate members.

'It is not surprising therefore that interest in TRADA membership, the only route to inclusion in the directory, has increased dramatically since the launch in January,' Mr Abbott added.
