TRADE BODIES

Trade Bodies are an important sector of our work. We have a proven record of presenting the concerns of Trade Bodies and their members to Ministers, Shadow Ministers, Select Committees, MPs and Civil Servants.

Trade Bodies have a dual role, with a duty to the public as well as their members. In some cases the rogue operator can be a significant threat. For others, high insurance premiums and unwarranted ‘red tape’ force firms in liquidation. The question facing Trade Bodies is not what to do, for that they know, but rather how and who to reach to make the necessary changes.

Ranelagh International has that expertise and that knowledge. We bring to lobbying ‘hands on’ experience of the working of Government and of Parliament. Ranelagh International’s Directors have a lobbying ‘skill set’ second to none. These skills have been developed during years spent in Parliament, working with the great Departments of State and refined in all-night sittings and in Standing and Select Committees.

 

 

 

 

Ranelagh consultants worked with the National Association of Funeral Directors (www.nafd.org.uk) for five years. Alan Slater, Chief Executive of the NAFD, writes:

“The National Association of Funeral Directors represents over 90% of all funerary businesses in the UK and because of this wide membership we feel we can act responsibly as the spokesmen for the industry.

“Our work requires a great deal of emotional fluency and sensitivity, but like every other business, funeral directors can also be detrimentally affected by changes to legislation and by the actions and attitude of people in Parliament.

“The consultancy team at Ranelagh International made a real and lasting difference to our lobbying successes in Westminster and Whitehall on a number of fronts. Their counsel and support was invaluable in building upon, and maintaining, strong relationships with Parliamentarians of all backgrounds. Ranelagh gave us advance warning of problems on the horizon, worked with us to establish ambitious strategies, and then steered us through the maze of Parliamentary and Whitehall procedures to secure the desired result.

The National Association of Funeral Directors owes a deep debt of gratitude to the consultants of Ranelagh International and we wish them every success in the future.”
