The NAAC Contractors Lounge is a new addition to LAMMA in 2023, held at the NEC, Birmingham, on 10th and 11th January.
The Lounge will be a dedicated area for contractors to relax and network, while providing specialist clinics and opportunities to meet new suppliers.
Experts from the NAAC will share the latest advice, assistance and resources to help contractors stay safe and legal, as well as guidance about transportation and information on their Assurance Standards for Contractors.
They have also partnered with financial experts to create a 鈥榗ontractor calculations tool鈥� for which there will be a costings demonstration.
Jill Hewitt, NAAC CEO says: 鈥淭he NAAC Contractors Lounge will offer a place to relax, have some refreshments and take the opportunity to talk to NAAC staff and experts. In addition to the clinics, there will be the chance to discuss industry issues, individual problems and explore solutions to these. We look forward to meeting many of the contractors visiting LAMMA.
