Member Spotlight: Meet Fonix

We are on a mission to help our members and their businesses. One the ways we are doing this is to give them an opportunity to tell us more about their business and the services they offer, and promote them however we can. Supporting our members is supporting business, and future growth across the industry.

Our first spotlight interview is with Fonix, who is a mobile payments and messaging services provider. Please feel free to reach out to them if you are interested in what they do and want to learn more.

Cancelled: PSA Forum 12th March

Coronavirus calls halt to Forum

Dear Members

We have just been informed by the PSA that in light of the changing situation with coronavirus and the fact that some people are no longer able to travel to Canary Wharf on Thursday, they have decided to cancel the forum. The purpose of the forum  was intended to be the first event in their programme of stakeholder engagement on the Code.  PSA have said the engagement programme will continue and they will be considering how to best to deliver on this.

They apologise for the short notice and any inconvenience this may cause.

Our workshop on the 18th is still going ahead as planned at this time and is nearly fully booked.

Kind regards
