COMPANY MEMBERSHIP

    COMPANY MEMBERS are entitled to:

#    an alpha-numerical listing in the Association's Directory of Approved Suppliers with hyperlinks to their web site (or such other Page of each Company Member's choice) and a fully customised text description (subject to then prevailing limitations on number of words per listing);

#    display their uniquely numbered variant of the above illustrated AAQA Quality Mark on their web site, letterheadings, business cards, vehicles, advertisements, e-commerce and hardcopy Newsletters and other promotional literature or to otherwise describe themselves as a "Company Member of the Association for the Advancement of Quality Awareness";

#    generally promote themselves or Tender for operationally applicable Contract Awards as an INDEPENDENTLY VERIFIABLE "Quality Assured" service or product provider;

#    the display (on this web site) of a uniquely referenced Online Company Member Certificate with entirely optional linkage each Company Member's principal web site and e-mail address and such other Company or Executive Management contact data and other self-promotional data as we are authorised to publish by each Company Member;

#     the issue of a Hard Copy Company Membership Certificate which can be displayed in their registered office or other individually appropriate place of business;

#    wide-ranging opportunities to promote their products, services and/or any "Special Offers" to other "opted-in" members.

#    in-built added value - the independently verifiable nature of each Company Member's quality-orientated trading credentials, the visually instantaneous delivery and globally recognisable promotional power of the Company Member Quality Mark allied to the individually structured delivery of Company Membership benefits, the extremely user-friendly and optimally secure online Application process and the Association's more generally affordable Company Membership Fee - currently only £250.00 (GBP) per annum - probably represent THE BEST COLLECTIVE VALUE FOR MONEY currently available in the All-Sector Business Development arena.
