BIG BENEFITS WITH AFI MEMBERSHIP
There’s a lot to be said for joining the AFI (Association of Fencing Industries)… and a lot of benefits to be had by linking up with one of our industry’s biggest trade bodies… including a copy of your favourite fencing publication!
Pete Clark. CEO of the AFI commented: “Aside of the representation and peace of mind that comes with knowing that the fencing industry’s main membership organisation has your back, there’s a number of advantages to joining the AFI.
“Members will have access to all of our subcommittees including AFA (Agricultural Fencing Association), ENBA (Environmental Noise Barrier Association), ASFC (Association of Safety Fencing Contractors), EFA (Electric Fencing Association) and ESFF (Electric Security Fencing Federation).
“We also supply van driver booklets and stickers to publicise their membership and the AFI logo can be used on letterheads, websites, company literature and even staff uniforms.
“Your company will also be listed on the AFI website, a great starting point for potential customers looking for tried and trusted contractors across the UK.
“We supply a range of Health & Safety guidance documents, estimation tools and templates for various business policies ie example customer care, equal opportunities etc.
“We are also here to supply guidance on GDPR, IR35 and PAS111 as well as other certifications and, if that was not enough, all our members receive a free copy of Fencing News!” added Pete.
Additional reductions on costs, negotiated with external bodies by AFI, include CHAS discount (20% for new CHAS members, 10% on renewals), BSI discount (30%), 4p per litre off fuel (UK Fuels), free credit checks (CreditServe), health & wellbeing advice (free), perennial, free advice from Citation, Wedlake Bell (1hr), Anderson Strathern (30 mins) as well as 15% off NFU risk management insurance, 10% off contract & legal services with BEB and 30% off construction health & safety manuals (CIP books). Crusader Vans will also source the best deals for members on vans and trucks.
The AFI also runs the Certified Contractor Scheme that demonstrates and verifies the knowledge and expertise of AFI contractors. Free for AFI members, it gives an additional level of reassurance to clients regarding contractors.
