Are you passionate about fostering excellence in design and production within the furniture and furnishing industry? The Furniture Makers' Company is the City of London livery company and charity for the furnishing industry.

With more than 300 individual members and around 45 corporate members, The Furniture Makers' Company is the only membership association in the UK furniture and furnishing industry that brings together people and companies from all sectors of the wider trade, including beds, fabrics, kitchens, carpets and floor coverings, for networking, fellowship and supporting our livery and charitable activities.

Our role is to sustain a thriving British furnishing industry with a talented workforce delivering high quality products, which supports those in need from within its ranks and those who have served it in the past.

We achieve this through three pillars of activity – education, excellence and welfare.

As our Guild Marks & Corporate Membership Manager, you will have responsibility in overseeing our programme of excellence activity as well as supporting the successful growth of corporate membership.

As the furniture and furnishing industry's preeminent organisation, we recognise excellence and the highest standards in British design and production through our coveted Guild Marks - the Bespoke Guild Mark, Design Guild Mark and Manufacturing Guild Mark.

Each Mark raises the profile of British design, innovation and manufacturing, helping to build a thriving industry for the future, as well as bringing prestige and publicity for award holders.

With the support and direction of committees of volunteers, you will be responsible for managing each of these very different award schemes - strong marketing, events management and administration skills are essential.
