A firm believer in the role of trade associations, John sees them as a vital part of the political landscape and essential to good government. “Bacta’s relationship with EUROMAT has been a long one. Some years ago I held the post of First Vice President for a couple of years, under the Presidency of Eduardo Antoja. With Jason Frost currently at the helm, EUROMAT is enjoying expanding membership and is active around various policy issues of interest to the UK, such as Payment Systems. EUROMAT is getting to the places where it needs to be, such as the Gaming Regulators European Forum (GREF), and representing the collective interests of the European machine industry. It’s also helping to develop markets such as France. This is all important work. I feel it’s its appropriate to emphasise the value of the networking at events such as the Summit. Meeting colleagues from Europe and understanding their regulatory systems and business models is a vital part of how we articulate our public policy ambitions,” confirmed John. Speaking about John’s representation of bacta at the event, EUROMAT President Jason Frost commented: “I’ve worked alongside John for a number of years and I know that his contribution is sure to be a valuable one. We’re particularly grateful that John has agreed to participate in so many sessions,” thanked Jason.
