How we can help

Q. What is The Guild of Master Craftsmen?
A. The Guild of Master Craftsman is a trade organisation. For more than 30 years The Guild has represented over 400 different crafts, trades and professions, promoting and supporting excellence. To the trade and public alike, The Guild’s emblem and Coat of Arms represent skill, integrity, quality and service.

Guild members come from a wide variety of backgrounds. Some are quite unusual, such as craftsmen in wrought iron, stained glass or thatch, others are traditional builders, plumbers or electricians. A growing number are involved in newer industries such as information technology and in the retail and service sector. The one thing they have in common is their commitment to excellence.

The Guild encourages members to strive for excellence and monitors standards to ensure that its principles are being maintained.
