Being involved in this work, you will have the opportunity to make a difference to the market, using your skills and experience to help guide its direction. This is what committee members say about their roles on two of our committees:

“I find that the Code Change Committee is a great way of staying in touch with the direction of the market and the codes that support it. It’s also a brilliant opportunity to build my knowledge and network with a wide variety of industry and non-industry professionals. I also feel that it’s a great opportunity to give a little back to a market that’s been fundamental to my own professional development as well as being a lot of fun.”

“The Disputes Committee provides a low cost, industry led solution adjudicating on Code breaches when dialogue between trading parties has reached deadlock. We need individuals from wholesale and retail background to offer their time and support to provide this valuable resource when needed. We can’t do it without the experience, goodwill and generosity of those who give their time. We need your help as we recruit new members willing to provide this important service.”
