The British Home Enhancement Trade Association (BHETA) is to hold another of its popular webinars, this time featuring Dave Elliott, Homebase Commercial and Marketing Director.  The event takes place on 17^th March at 11am and follows on from a successful BHETA Meet The Buyer event with Homebase at the end of January, a second of which is already scheduled.

Dave will be providing suppliers with an update on Homebase’s recent trading performance, future strategic direction, consumer and trade trends, opportunities for suppliers and the role they can play in maintaining the resurgence of home improvement.  He will also be providing more detail on the online collaboration with e-commerce specialist The Hut Group.

The presentation will last 20-30 minutes, followed by a Q & A session with participants.

This is a BHETA member-only event, but non-members supplying product in the DIY, gardening, housewares and small electrical appliances sectors who would like to attend can contact Nicola Adams, BHETA Member Services Manager to discuss membership followed by access to the session.

Chief Operating Officer of BHETA, Will Jones commented, “I’m delighted that BHETA can secure key industry speakers like Dave Elliott and I know there will be a great turn out to hear him talk about the future of Homebase and how suppliers and potential suppliers can get involved.  I urge all interested suppliers to book as soon as possible.”
