Are you a member of The Tile Association?

I've posted one of these before but wanted to get a new count. Please also reply with your reasons for joining if you joined, or the reason you didn't if you didn't.

If you just simply didn't know about The Tile Association and / or it's benefits then just tick that box.

I think they phoned me up a while back, and like all the other calls I get saying they can do me this and they can do me that, and I don't think I really took any notice to what they were saying.

im a member ANDY CARROLL TILING LTD ive been a member for four years now
theres no great benefits for me but i think it gives the customer more peace of
mind and one up on other tilers also its not overly expensive and the fee
includes all your insurance . you have to tile to british standards or your
out

It appears to be out of the same cupboard as the Guild of Mastercraftsmen...you pay for a sticker on back windscreen and little motif on letter head....expensive waste of money IMO.....Gaz

Didn't know they did cold-calling. Are they that desperate to get business from tilers?

Well done mate. Do you have a tiling NVQ or similar? I guess that would prove to the customers AND the contractors that you're not just in the trade for a while and would give confidence like no other.
