Code of Conduct

Members will display a positive and supporting attitude to fellow members and guests at WAW events. There will be members from the same business sector in the room at the events.  Regardless of this we expect all competitors to behave respectfully towards each other and when engaging in conversations with other members that may refer to competitors. We Are Wakefield Ltd reserves the right to ask any member not adhering to this to leave the event.

Disputes or disagreements between members; sometimes, business relationships don’t work out. In the event of a dispute between members, We Are Wakefield Ltd, or its employees are not in a position to mediate, and disputes should not be brought into conversation at WAW events. We encourage members to resolve any issues directly between themselves.

In the event of a serious breach of the Code of Conduct the We Are Wakefield Ltd Board of Directors reserve the right to withdraw membership.
