The Design Guild Mark deadline is approaching

January is a busy time for all following the lull of the festive break. In amongst the mountain of emails and fresh queries from customers, make sure you don’t forget to complete and return your Design Guild Mark application form.

The strict deadline for submissions this year is 19 January.

Here is a quick reminder of the benefits:

• Participating in the Design Guild Mark costs less than an advert
• It’s an accreditation of quality
• You get great press and social media coverage
• You’re in good company – check out the current holders.

If you want to hear why some of last year’s winners applied, check out the short film we produced in conjunction with Design Insider, the online magazine from the British Contract Furnishing Association.

Finally, don’t leave your application to the last minute! As with any application form, there may be something you don’t understand or need some clarification on.

Start your application now and give yourself plenty of time to call or email us with any questions you may have.

In the meantime, good luck and we hope to see you on 28 February at Carpenters’ Hall, London for judging.

If you have any questions about the criteria or the application form, please get in touch with Doreen Oddy, guild marks manager, by calling 020 7562 8522 or emailing guildmarks@furnituremakers.org.uk.
