British Manufacturers Encouraged to Attend Manufacturing Guild Mark Webinar, November 2020

The Furniture Makers’ Company, the City of London livery company and charity for the furnishing industry, is inviting UK furnishing manufacturers that are interested in learning about the marketing and operational benefits of the Manufacturing Guild Mark to attend a free webinar next month.

The Manufacturing Guild Mark, sponsored by Biesse and Lectra, has been the mark of excellence, distinguishing Britain’s top furnishing manufacturers, since 1993. It is only awarded to companies that demonstrate high standards across all aspects of the business, including manufacturing, design, product quality, marketing, finance, commitment to training, employment conditions and sustainability.

Currently, 20 companies hold the Manufacturing Guild Mark, and the one-hour webinar, which is taking place on Thursday 19 November 2020 at 2.00pm, will inform companies of the importance of the mark, the benefits of holding it and the audit process.

The event will include a short presentation from Howard James, operations manager of FIRA International, which conducts the independent audit. Attendees will also get to hear from Murray Hudson, managing director of existing holder Gratnells, and find out first-hand the positive promotional impact the mark has had on the business.

With the current state of affairs, it’s never been a better or more important time for well-run British furnishing manufacturers to assert themselves. The Manufacturing Guild Mark can be a key weapon in this armoury.
Ben Burbidge Manufacturing Guild Mark Chairman
Steve Bulmer, CEO at Biesse UK, said:

Companies interested in attending the event can register via Zoom here.
