What is the IMPDA for?

Q. What is the IMPDA for whats its purpose?

A. The IMPDA (Independent Mobile Phone Dealers Association) is mainly for Dealers, however we welcome both Networks and Distributors to make a contribution to the site.

The aim is to support dealers and provide a platform for discussion between Dealers, Networks and Distributors, with a view to improving the co-operation between all three and to encourage the Networks to work with and not against dealers. The IMPDA as well is available to the public to give their views, report dealers who are members to which they have problems, and to ensure that customers have a quality service from quality dealers.

The IMPDA gives the networks the opportunity to provide dealers with a level playing field, where dealers can make offers to the public the same as the networks, and to improve where possible the treatment of dealers. The IMPDA has contacts with Ofcom, Trading Standards and Members of Parliament, as well as Trade magazines and national press such as "The Mirror" "The Guardian" and Central Television and Channel 4.

Message from the Chairman IMPDA

On behalf of the IMPDA and its team I would like to wish all UK dealers/distributors/networks a very Happy New Year 2009.

We wish all dealers good luck for 2009 and that their business continues to survive in 2009 after what has been a very difficult last quarter of 2008. Dealers this year need all the help they can get, and we hope that Mobile Network Operators will help to keep the independent dealer alive and well in 2009 and maybe offer special deals which will help to bring more business to the independent sector.

The future for dealers this year may be more difficult due to the economic climate, however dealers are tough and many will survive this difficult time. Despite the gloom, consumers are using their mobiles more and more, and although their may be a slight downturn, it;' not as bad as some sectors. That does not mean that dealers can be complacent. If anything diversification is the word this year, with more dealers taking on additional products to sell, and not just mobiles. Suppliers can also help dealers achieve additional sales, If suppliers would like to help UK dealers then please contact us to discuss.

Happy New Year to you all

Chris Caudle
