What happens when a member company expands to a new location where there is already an existing IPN member?
The IPN member can of course operate in that area but has no exclusivity. It would be expected that before commencing new operations the incoming member would liaise with the existing local IPN member to minimise any competitive issues. In addition he would have to understand and accept that the existing member would normally handle any IPN work required in that area. However in the final event it has to be accepted that it is the company placing the work that makes the final decision on commercial grounds.
