APA to meet new Ministers


As the new Government gets down to business, APA has already been securing dates in Minister's diaries to ensure they are fully briefed on issues close to it’s members hearts and issues that could change the shape of future employment.

Gareth Osborne, APA’s Director General and Chief Political Lobbyist, plans to meet both Vince Cable MP, Minister for Business and Theresa May MP, Home Secretary and Minister for Women, to ensure they fully understand the important role PAs play in business, the public sector, academia, charities and the arts and how historic gender biases still stifle the opportunity for them to achieve success and reward in some sectors. Also on the agenda will be employment legislation, maternity and paternity leave and childcare arrangements.

APA Members are invited to email Gareth with any issues that are particularly relevant to them or their business at gareth.osborne@paprofessional.com.

Womens issues: equal pay, the cost of childcare and particularly relevant for me the cost and availability of childcare during school holidays. Obviously my CEO at the Institute of Credit Management is looking forward to continuing engagement with BIS and with Vince Cable/Mark Prisk the new ministers. It is good to see the APA having a voice.
