Association of Interior Specialists
The Association of Interior Specialists represents the whole spectrum of those involved in the manufacture, supply and installation of all aspects of interior fit-outs and refurbishment. Our members are throughout the supply chain - from main interior contractors to specialist fit-out contractors, from interior systems manufacturers to distributors, from space planners to quantity surveyors, and so much more.
AIS members operate in retail and commercial offices, the public sector, banks and building societies, hotels and leisure facilities, hospitals, schools, factories and warehouses, airports and so on. Most work nationally and an increasing number operate in Europe and beyond.
Our mission is to:
-
Raise, maintain and ensure continuity of standards;
-
Be a source of quality membership;
-
Provide a single voice and industry leadership for the interiors sector;
-
Encourage and promote the use of members' products and services; and
-
Provide benefits to and represent the interests of members.
We require our members:
- To conduct their business in a manner that reflects credit on the AIS and themselves.
- To adopt and commit to the principles and practices laid down by the AIS.
- To act with the utmost integrity towards others and exercise high standards of business practice and workmanship.
- Not to mislead clients, architects or other employing bodies by fact or implication as to the performance of their products or systems.
- To ensure that they are conversant with and adhere to relevant British Standards (and, where appropriate, international and European Standards) and other relevant technical Standards, Regulations and practices.
- Insofar as they are able, to ensure that their products or systems are tested and / or comply with the recognised Standards specified by the client or statutory authority.
AIS membership is not automatic and applicants are subject to strict vetting procedures. In the case of contractors, this includes inspection of recent contracts to assess workmanship standards. On being accepted into membership of the Association, members agree to abide by its code of conduct and conditions of membership.
An elected Board of Directors governs the Association of Interior Specialists and sets its policy and direction. Elections are held annually when nominations are invited from the membership. The Board has committees responsible for the following functions: Membership; Marketing and Communications; Training and Health & Safety; Technical and Innovation; and Finance.
The Association maintains a permanent office in Solihull with a team of experienced and dedicated staff under the leadership of its chief executive.
