Hi all

The federation of master builders have been enquiring for me to join them. I was just wondering if anyone else has joined up and if it has been a worthwhile body to be a part of.
Are you sure it was The Federation of "master builders"
 
join if you want, but don't be surprised when customers phone you up to re-point their chimney stack.
 
:)
 
Yes it was the FMB I even asked him if he was sure it made sense for an electrical contractor to join and he rambled about the benefits blah blah blah.

I found it a strange one. Just wanted to see generally what all your thoughts were
 
It'll just be yet another fee to pay for the odd person to phone up looking bannisters put on their stairs etc
 
I joined the FMB about 17 years ago as I was also carrying out other building trades. I was a memeber for a couple of years or so. It was a complete waste of time and money for small independent traders and seemed to focus more on middle and large sized companies. The regular newsletters they sent me often showed them hosting award ceremonies and swanky diner events up town with invites to the next one at extortionate prices. I had the FMB stickers on my van yet never had any work as a result of it. They keep trying to get me to rejoin. Think they had a stand at Elex the other day. Complete waste of money in my opinion unless you like looking at pictures of p*****d up builders at black tie events.
