Money over Quality......

Reading the latest issue of MOT Tester and Authorised Examiner I found an interesting statement.

It seems the Trade bodies of which the rag is part of were unhappy that a strategic aspect of the MOT had been decided and agreed on by VOSA and their VTS Council Members.

They said, "On strategic matters, VOSA should consider the views of the professional trade body heads as of greater importance than those expressed at VTS Councils. Not only are they professionals, they are also representing the views collectively, of perhaps ten thousand or more vehicle testing stations - as compared with the 140 or so total membership of VTS Councils, a largely 'self selected' group".

Seems to me that someone has spat their dummy out!

In response, the VTS Council members are 'hands-on' unlike the trade body heads. We have no alternative motive or 'ideas for profit' like trade body heads do. We're by no means a self selected group, VOSA has open invitation via application. We are professionals who have built businesses from nothing, we were not selected, appointed or poached to become a 'trade body head' in the search for even larger profits.

At the end of the day our only interest is our business, we speak honestly and freely and communicate well with all senior VOSA Staff.

There is one and only one reason as to why too........WE'RE NOT IN IT FOR THE MONEY!!, we give our time freely for the good of the trade unlike some I could mention.


Take a look in this months issue, page 18, second column midway down. Or you can read my copy.....it's in the toilet.
