“I’ve dealt with the NPHA for many years, and they offer first class help at the end of the phone at all times. The most beneficial aspect is the sharing of information, and working together as a licensing authority and a trade association to reach satisfactory outcomes for both.”

“I would tell anybody who asks, that the Nation- al Association’s support has been invaluable In this area. Without their general assistance and legal representation, our trade would have con- tinued to be intimidated, and our individual businesses decimated, by the actions of our council. The NPHA has proved that, in order to enforce the legislation that governs our trade, local authorities must stick to the rules as well. Adrian Fets
