Last year we celebrated 75 years in business, and much has changed during that time, however, one thing that hasn’t changed is the need for our industry to be connected through a trade association. The BOSS Federation are a shining example of such an association providing its members with all matters of advice and support, lobbying Government on behalf of our industry, and bringing dealers, wholesalers and manufacturers together through conferences and annual awards nights. BOSS have been a part of our history and will without doubt be an essential part of our future
