The British Isles Grooming Association (BIGA) is delighted to announce the formation of its new Pet Grooming Experts Panel.

The Experts Panel will be BIGA's representative consultants as BIGA engages Government and other official bodies with respect to any legislation or initiatives that may affect professional groomers across the UK.

BIGA is pleased therefore to welcome the following members to the Panel, who will be reaching out to YOU and the wider community of professional groomers. We want to hear your voice - and we're glad to have our experts help us pull these voices together in a unified way, to ensure the highest standards in our industry and for the sake of the health and welfare of pets in our care.

BIGA has created the Panel to support its efforts as an associate member of the Canine and Feline Sector Group (CFSG) which advises Government via the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (defra).

According to the CFSG's website: "The CFSG is made up of influential organisations who advise Government on behalf of the sector on strategically important dog and cat health and welfare issues and standards." (www.cfsg.org.uk)
