ASFP Commercial Projects Manager Rich Green outlines the growing portfolio of member benefits the Association offers. Why do companies join trade associations? For entrepreneurs and business owners, visibility and networking are key, but these are just a couple of the many reasons why it is a a good idea to join industry associations. Another key driver of joining is to obtain enhanced benefits. Some associations offer members access to a world of benefits and other perks as a reward for your investment. At ASFP we are currently creating what we believe will be one of the best portfolios of association benefits available in the wider construction field. We will be launching these to ASFP members over the coming months. We know that ours will be one of the best because we have looked at over 100 other associations on your behalf to create a list of the best benefits in the market and we are in the progress of selecting the right commercial partners to provide these services. A few of these benefits are ready to go now, as detailed on this page.
