• Public services - especially local government and the health service
• Private services - especially retail distribution, airport services and the security industry.
• Private industry - especially engineering, food & drink, chemicals, building materials, clothing & textiles, and energy & utilities.

Our broad membership base means diversity is our strength. We draw on a wide repertoire of experience in all our dealings with our members and their employers.
