Reputation is everything in the business world. You want to be known as a company that’s committed to quality, growth and innovation. And joining an industry association is a great way to build that kind of reputation within your industry. When you become a member of an industry association, it sends a message. It says that you take your business seriously enough to invest your time, energy and resources outside of office hours into learning everything you can to build the most successful business possible.

In feedback received from our members we hear this message seriously resonates with their colleagues, their team, their prospects and their customers, giving them an edge over their competition.

Being an FIA member shows you are serious about your workers safety and the safety within the industry. It demonstrates your commitment, Formwork expertise and ethical standards to your future employees and of course to your clients and the principal contractors you work for. It further demonstrates your organisation’s commitment to continually building your own and workers safety expertise and that you take your business seriously.

Any of the recent articles the FIA have posted recently are reason enough to consider joining an industry association. But when you put them altogether, they culminate in what is arguably the most important and beneficial reason to join a professional organisation—and that’s the fact that your membership can help you gain a competitive advantage in your market.

According to recent research, over 85 percent of businesses that fail are not members of a trade association. No matter the industry, trade associations give their members many advantages in a fast-paced, competitive world.

The FIA is working tirelessly, advocating on behalf of our members, to improve the safety of workers on site. We are additional working closely with the construction companies and principal contractors you work with to ensure that FIA members are favoured or preferred when proposals are received.

With new products with skills and compliance scoring, industry accreditation programs, recognition of prior learning capabilities and a new education pathway, there has never been a better time to be part of the Formwork Industry Association.

Looking to gain that competitive edge, be it your own formwork career, or by winning more profitable work? Then join today or renew as a priority.
