One of the benefits of being a member of the TIA UK is the access it provides members to high quality professional services.
There are five professional business service providers (PBSP) currently offering their services to TIA UK members at preferential rates.
All of the providers have been selected by the TIA UK from recommendations, and each company was invited to present to the board before their selection as a PBSP. Phil Sandilands, TIA Business Development Manager said: “Our aim is to provide cost effective and useful services for our members.”
