(AA) Affiliate Contractor Membership - ARB Show "launch"

[AA Teccie (Paul)]

Albeit "a long time in the offing" but this new membership opportunity, primarily aimed at 'bidding' Approved Contractors', is being launched at the show.

 

This 'new' membership category is aimed at those contracting businesses who want to be acknowledged as "working towards" ARB Approved Contractor status but either need assistance / guidance with some aspects, e.g. "paperwork" or training updates, or more time as they don't have the prerequisite two years trading under their belt, prior to applying.

 

The application process will involve a desktop review of your submitted documents, including H&S statement / risk assessments / LOLER / qualifications / 'tickets' (upto CS39, as was) AND piccies of your work, albeit this could be by reference to your websites.

 

The cost is £250 (+VAT) per year and the first year includes a £50 (+VAT) review fee submitted at the time of your application. Once membership is achieved various 'benefits,' including FREE entry to future ARB Shows for the nominated manager and discounts on AA training courses and events become available.

 

Further information and application forms to follow but if you want to know more please either 'post back' or come and see me / us at the Show.

 

Many thanks all and I sincerely hope this is something you feel you'd like to get involved with

Paul

 

PS Just to confirm from the outset, this is a membership opportunity and not an accreditation, i.e. ARB Approved Contractor, and hence it will not include entitlement to any logo use nor promotion by the Association.

Hi all, I just wanted to say "thank you" to everyone who came and spoke to me / 'us' at the show about this. There was a great deal of interest and I hope it proves a useful "stepping stone" towards getting your business accredited and you the recognition you deserve

 

If you want to know more either post back, email me [email protected] or call me 07971995351...or get along to one of the 'Prep' workshops.

 

Good stuff n thanks again,

Paul
