The business sectors that individual trade associations represent may be unique but the organisational issues that they face are not.

Since its formation in 1997, the Trade Association Forum has been encouraging the development and sharing of best practice among UK trade associations and promoting the role of effective trade associations to government, industry and the wider public.

Through the Directory the Forum provides comprehensive links to information on UK trade associations and the business sectors they represent.

The Forum provides its members with a range of services and activities designed to assist them in the strategic development and day to day running of their organisations but is not a policy setting body.

Funded by its members, with support from the CBI and the DTI, the Forum is an unincorporated body operating with guidance from a Steering Group of trade association representatives. The Forum is based within the offices of the Confederation of British Industry at Centre Point in London with its administration provided by the CBI
