Representation

All members are represented on Council which is the principal body of the Association. It addresses issues affecting the whole industry and the operation of the Association.  At Council level members have the opportunity to resolve major all-industry issues that are brought to their attention and thus determine the Association's policy.  Through the Association the industry is far more effective in influencing the decision-makers by developing a single, powerful voice.

Representation on sectoral committees allows specific issues affecting only a part or parts of the industry  to be handled in a similar way.  At each level there is also specific technical representation.

With members having representation at all levels also ensures that all are kept informed by electronic means of a range of key developments potentially affecting the industry.

At all committee levels the British Cables Association deals only with issues that are agreed as being of concern to the whole, or a substantial part of the industry and it applies this to its operations at both national and European Levels.
