WASPA names management committee

"I'm delighted to once again serve the industry as the chairman of WASPA. I would also like to thank all outgoing management committee members for their dedication to the industry during the past year, as well as thank all the returning members for once again making their time and expertise available to WASPA and its members.” WASPA founder Leon Perlman was commenting on his re-election as the organisation's chair and of chair of the regulatory working group.

"We're expecting another year of excellent growth for all our members as the mobile market continues to grow. By lobbying for our industry's interests and providing a self-regulation mechanism for WASPs, we will continue to instil consumer and business confidence in the WASP industry to support its growth."
