That's the view of HCSA Trustees Chairman (Mark Roscow MBE) as he looked back on our Annual Conference in Harrogate:
'It was bigger than ever and with over 50 Trusts represented along with all UK bodies we really represented the service'
The Conference welcomed a cohort of Future Leaders who enjoyed a dedicated day along with Gala Dinner attendance. The feedback on the Gala Dinner was very positive along with a revised format that blended modernity with tradition.
The plenary and workshop sessions were well attended along with the largest ever exhibition.
Harrogate extended a great welcome with the Borough's Mayor and Consort being warmly received at the Gala Dinner.
Our 2017 Awards showcased Procurement excellence and recognised the magnificent work the profession undertakes.
The HCSA Conference Committee agreed in early 2017 that the 'Stronger Together' theme reflected our ambitions- after our time in Harrogate our ambitions became a reality!
The planning for 2018 has now begun!
The work of the HCSA continues renewed by a lovely time in Yorkshire.
