In order to be eligible for primary membership, you would need to be manufacturing joinery products from a fit for purpose workshop and have been trading for at least 12 months.
Primary Membership subscriptions are based on annual joinery-related turnover. For a no-obligation subscription quotation, please contact us.

Associate Members are companies that supply allied products to woodworking and joinery manufacturers. They range from those who are involved in the manufacture and sale of woodworking machinery through to suppliers of materials, hardware, glazing, specialist coatings and sealants and IT software.
In order to be eligible for Associate Membership, you would need to be manufacturing or supplying allied goods to the joinery and woodworking sector.
