The national trade association, ADS Group, provides the MOD with administrative and sector-specific support to allow for appropriate representation from across the community of interest. ADS membership is not mandated, and non-ADS members do attend. There is no set attendance and representatives attend based on availability, the intended agenda and main discussion points.
