Just read on the Argi site that Tim Ottridge, MD for registrations, has resigned from Corgi after only a year in post. Corgi say they will not replace him but will slim down their management structure. Tim has apparently had another offer outside the gas industry.

never thought of that tony
By the way, CORGi has banned NAPIT from the Installer Live event later this year!
I would remind you that CORGI does not actually run the exhibition! So they have no ability to ban anyone from the show!
In reality we all know that its an events company set up by CORGI to run its events and it does just what CORGI tells it to do!
The CORGi comment says:-
"""Mike Thompson said: 'We have been very clear in our opposition of NAPIT's bid to run a second gas registration scheme from the very start'. 'I fundamentally believe that the initiative proposed would be a backward step for gas safety'. 'To that end, I feel that it would be inappropriate for NAPIT to exhibit at InstallerLive - a decision that we have taken about other potential exhibitors that may not positively impact on gas safety'.
'If you look at the list of exhibitors that are at InstallerLive, you will see that we are not anti-competitive'.
'Magazines are exhibiting - we too run a trade magazine'.
'Competent Persons Scheme providers are exhibiting - we too run Competent Persons Schemes'.
'Retailers of merchandise are exhibiting - we too supply CORGI registered installers with merchandise'.
'We are in favour of open and fair competition - this is not about competition - this is about gas safety'.
'I am surprised by John Andrew's comments about two members of CORGI staff attending a NAPIT event in disguise.
In fact, they were invited as CORGI, and it was only when a delegate approached the CORGI representative and asked for details on our Competent Persons Schemes that NAPIT got upset'.
'Perhaps they don't like competition after all?'"""
