SPA Initiatives
SPA Members enjoy exclusive access to industry-leading Best Practice Initiatives.
By identifying key threats and opportunities, the SPA establishes best practices, secures expert guidance, and shares it with members - either free of charge or at a subsidised rate.
Acting as a support hub, the SPA provides resources typically offered by a group Head Office, covering HR, Legal, Health & Safety, and Sales. The goal is simple: to help member companies become excellent businesses and strengthen the sheet plant sector as a whole.
The SPA website is a portal for Members to explore and sign up for current Initiatives:
