Regional Association
No matter where you live around the UK, you are welcome to get involved with our regional activity by joining your region as an associate.
Become a regional associate
Although Furniture Makers’ Hall is situated within the Square Mile of the City, our influence and work as a national members’ organisation and UK-wide charity for the trade spreads beyond London through our regional network.
Regional association enables furnishing industry colleagues to build links locally and get involved with events and initiatives in their area, charitable and otherwise, without the formality of officially joining the livery.
Regional association is recommended to those in the industry who are new to The Furniture Makers’ Company and want to discover more about us before joining as a freeman.
