After a 'year of change' The Federation of Communications Services has a clear vision to become the leading lobbyist and mouthpiece for the comms provider industry, according to chairman Justin Orde.
In his his annual report Orde told members: "The need for a clear and all-embracing voice to speak out for B2B communications has never been clearer or more urgent.
"The FCS is also the only organisation with the history, the breadth and the membership firepower to represent our industry's big-picture aspirations to policy makers and pundits.
"FCS's relationships with Ofcom, PhonepayPlus and the various industry stakeholder groups is not enough, by itself, to gain the kind of traction our industry needs to ensure markets are transparent, competition is free, and the vital, enabling capabilities of high quality business-grade communications are understood and appreciated beyond the confines of our own industry."
Orde said the FCS Board members have committed their time and experience to developing FCS into an articulate and future-proof mouthpiece for the industry.
"It's a big vision that will see FCS growing and developing to embrace new members and new technologies in the years to come."
