This conference will highlight the impact which the Act will have on both retail and wholesale businesses. Topics which will be addressed include how businesses will have to change the way they communicate with their customers and the fact that consumers have a right to fair, just and reasonable terms and conditions.

getclosure Director Patrick Deale will be speaking at the conference at 10:45 on 19 August about how the Consumer Protection Act will impact on a company’s reputation, good will and financial strength. He will explain that as well as being the law, it makes good business sense to comply with the requirements in the Consumer Protection Act.
