The Pet Industry Federation (PIF) has two tickets for its forthcoming Forum & Awards event in October to give away to visitors to this week’s PATS trade show in Harrogate.

To be in with a chance of winning tickets to the Forum, PATS visitors simply need to visit PIF’s stand (G26) and leave their business cards in the box provided. A winner will be selected at random at 3pm on Monday afternoon.

Nigel Baker, PIF CEO said: "We’re very much looking forward to attending PATS once again. Visitors to our stand will have the chance to find out all about the fantastic new range of benefits that we can offer members, including a brand new voucher scheme that we’re launching there. Feel free to ask us about our education courses and seminars, as well as the forthcoming British Dog Grooming Championships and the Pet Industry Forum & Awards."

The Pet Industry Forum & Awards take place on Thursday 23 – Friday 24 October at Whittlebury Hall, Towcester, Northamptonshire.

An impressive  array of speakers, including top US retail expert, Bob Phibbs; Mark Berisford-Smith, HSBC’s chief economist; and animal welfare expert Tim Wass MBE of Animal Kind will provide delegates with inspirational and fascinating talks.

New for this year is a range of smaller breakout workshops designed to offer more specific tips and advice for pet businesses, and as ever there will be great opportunities for delegates to network and make new connections.

There’ll be a celebratory feel in the evening as the Pet Industry Awards will be announced on Thursday 23 October with winners receiving their trophies from boxing legend, Frank Bruno MBE. Further details and booking are available at www.piffa.co.uk
