Annual Congress 2006

"Road Safety is an Investment not a Cost."
The annual congress once again took place at the Park Plaza Hotel with a strong attendance from around the province.
With government figures calculating that road collisions cost the Northern Ireland economy more than £400 million each year, this year's conference was particularly relevant to employers and employees who drive as part of their work.
