About Our Media Partners

CBA is the voice of the UK chemical supply chain. It represents a wide range of businesses – from distributors and traders to manufacturers and blenders as well as logistics and service providers. The majority of CBA members are small or medium-sized enterprises.

CBA delivers three key services to its members:

• Advocacy for your business – representing your business in Whitehall, Westminster, and Brussels. CBA has effective working relationships with regulators and legislators and plays an active role in the European Association for Chemical Distributors (Fecc) and the European Chemical Industry Council (Cefic).
• Compliance information and advice – key information to maintain your business in compliance with the regulatory and legislative framework. CBA will keep you fully briefed on regulatory changes as well as helping you minimise the costs of regulatory compliance.
• Seminars and workshops – need-to-know information through CBA’s established programme of seminars and workshops. CBA has also made a commitment to deliver compliance training on demand to its member companies – subject only to its economic viability and co-ordination with events already scheduled.

Hazardous Cargo Bulletin (HCB), first published in 1980, provides up-to-the minute news and analysis of developments in the hazardous materials supply chain. Its products include a monthly magazine, sent out to subscribers around the world, as well as a free weekly email newsletter, a website that is constantly updated with the latest news, and news feeds through FaceBook, Twitter and TankChat.

The magazine is read by shippers and carriers in what is a very safety-conscious transportation sector. They look to HCB to keep up with regulatory changes, learn from accident reports and keep in touch with technical developments. Each monthly issue includes the Incident Log, detailing recent accidents, as well as news from each part of the supply chain, reports from regulatory meetings and market analysis of the various market sectors.

More information can be found on the HCB website, www.hazardouscargo.com.

Speciality Chemicals Magazine (SCM), the only magazine in the world dedicated exclusively to the fine and speciality chemicals industries, is 30 years old as of February 2011.

A lot has changed in that time. SCM has gone from being a quarterly publication with only black and white photos that went mainly to UK-based readers to one that is now published every month in a mixture of print and online formats, going out worldwide to well over 22,000 readers.

What has not changed - and never will - is our commitment to delivering the highest quality editorial for the global fine and speciality chemicals industries, through a mixture of mainly technical articles from industry and academia, business- and market-based articles from leading consultants to in-house authored articles by myself and specialist freelancers covering whatever is of topical interest to the industry.

SCM also remains the sister magazine to the Chemspec portfolio of events.
