“One Voice”

  • Our industry has a long history of fragmentation and self-interest. Yet international best practice has shown that this industry, more than any other thrives on national co-operation, pooling of resources and benefit sharing to be internationally competitive. The growth of the past 10 years has shown that strategic leadership in the key areas that affect our industry and the active public/private partnership has made our industry and sector highly successful.
