A rush to join the British Equestrian Trade Association (BETA) signals optimism in our sector. New members revealed…
If BETA membership is a barometer of the trade surviving the coronavirus pandemic, the signs are positive.
A healthy number of businesses have joined the trade association in the first quarter of 2021.
And because belonging to BETA goes beyond paying an annual subscription, these are solid players.
The organisation’s Council – made up of equestrian retailers, manufacturers, distributors and service providers – scrutinises each application and takes references before considering approval.
Member companies are entitled to use the BETA logo. For consumers, it’s an indicator of reputable businesses where they can shop with confidence.
The following firms were approved for BETA membership at the trade association’s most recent Council meeting.
