Good news for fans of greater RDG and ATOC integration.
Word reaches Eye that tomorrow's RDG meeting is likely to see closer co-operation between the two bodies placed firmly on the agenda.
An ATOC spokesman observed today: 'Discussions are on-going'.
Quite so.
In fact so 'on-going' are discussions, that in certain recent conversations you might almost have mistaken ATOC speaking for RDG!
Perhaps helpful to recall that transparency is, as transparency does.
UPDATE: This from Sidney Supplychain...
No doubt there are plans in hand to communicate these exciting developments to, and engage more fully with, RDG's Associate Members?
Didn't think so.
