We are the UK's dedicated professional association for shopfitters, fit-out and interior contractors.
Our mission is to promote, support, and develop our members, and the sector more broadly.
Our Mission
Promote
We promote and represent the interests of our members at every level – from industry forums and government bodies to clients, contractors, and the wider sector. By championing the value of professional shopfitting and interior contracting, we work to raise the profile of our members and ensure their voice is heard where it matters.
Support
We provide practical, meaningful support to help our members run stronger, safer, and more successful businesses. From legal and technical guidance to business resources, networking opportunities, our support is built around the real needs of the shopfitting and fit-out community.
Develop
We lead on skills development across the sector – offering expert guidance on training, grants, and levy funding, while driving national work on apprenticeships, competence, and qualifications. Our goal is to ensure members have the skilled workforce they need today and a pipeline of talent for the future.
