The Guild of Master Craftsmen’s stringent entry criteria ensure that only those companies who meet the requirements are awarded membership, which is by no means automatic.
Members are required to prove that they have earned the right to be called master craftsmen - through the quality of their work, their commitment to customer care and the level of service they provide. Once accepted into membership they are required to maintain the Aims and Objectives of the Guild. Should they fail to do so their membership will be terminated.
