outworker, I am sure you could afford to contribute £50, and if you are a large Corporate it should be many times more than that.


We must all remember that it is the end consumer who ultimately pays our wages, and they are already suffering. The practices being imposed by the Swiss on the watch servicing market are drastically reducing customer choice and pushing up prices to artificially high levels. The shortage of trained staff is resulting in unacceptably long repair times, with the resulting frustration that this delivers.


It is the people who work in the Industry that are the Industry, and if we individually take the attitude that contributing to the future is someone else’s responsibility, then there is no future to be had. If it isn’t our collective responsibility to tackle these issues, then whose is it?


We all take great pride in delivering high quality service and value for money to our customers, but are we really doing the best for them if, by our collective inactivity, we fail to counter the threats that we face, or ensure that there is a new generation of trained professionals to carry on our craft?


Please take two minutes out of your day to send an email to iaf@bwcmg.org enclosing your contact details and how much you would like to donate, and the Guild will respond with how to pay in and obtain a receipt.


Thank you in advance for your support. Kind Regards Anthony Cousins
