PIF to offer member ‘benefits surgeries’ at PATS

The Pet Industry Federation (PIF) is looking forward to meeting members and the wider pet industry at PATS Sandown.

PIF will have a stand in the Surrey Hall – the PIF Seating Area - and will be hosting a number of activities from there, as well as providing information on its products, services and events:

Member ‘Benefits Surgeries’

Find out how PIF benefits its members by dropping in on the ‘benefits surgeries’ taking place throughout the show:

  1. PIF Protect – Tuesday 17 March – 10.30am – 12.30pm. Visit the stand for a free CCTV consultation, where experts can advise visitors on how they can best protect their business property through high quality CCTV.
  2. PIF Telecom - Tuesday 17 March – 2.00pm – 4.00pm. Drop by to speak to our telecoms expert, who will tell visitors how PIF members can save money on their landline and mobile bills. There will also be product demonstrations taking place.

Education and online courses
The PIF team will be on hand to talk to visitors about the level 3 City & Guilds Pet Store Management course, which is now available as an online course; as well as the new range of Pet Handling & Welfare courses, developed to help those working with pets to improve and refresh their knowledge on a variety of different taxa.

Win tickets to the Pet Industry Federation Forum & Awards 2015
PIF’s annual Forum & Awards event will take place in Liverpool this year from 17-18 November at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Liverpool. This business-focussed event brings together the whole pet industry and provides unrivalled networking opportunities. PIF will be offering visitors to the stand the chance to win a pair of tickets during PATS. Simply take the light-hearted ‘test your taxa’ quiz to be in a chance of success.
