The membership team are here to answer any queries about your membership.
We wouldn’t be where we are today without the dedication and enthusiasm of our volunteers since 2004 and openly thank our past and present members for their voluntary contributions in making APDO a membership body to be proud of.
We would like to introduce our current stars of the show:

Catherine has been a member of APDO since 2014 and feels passionately about the support it brings to its members. She checks in with provisional members to see how they’re getting on with their membership requirements and to remind them of all the resources we provide to help support their business.
Caroline volunteers in the Membership Team and supports our new members, welcoming them to APDO with a friendly phone call. She's there to point you in the right direction for advice and information and explain the many benefits that APDO membership can offer.
