Members Sub Groups

AFI members can join and participate in a number of specialist interest sub-groups to discuss challenges or issues experienced within their specific sector of the fencing industry.

Become a Specialist

The AFI Certified Contractor Scheme is designed to recognise and promote excellence within the fencing industry. It goes beyond basic compliance — it’s a mark of quality, integrity, and professionalism that sets your business apart.

By achieving certification, members demonstrate that they operate to the highest standards of safety, workmanship, and customer care. It shows clients, main contractors, and procurement teams that they are working with a trusted, independently verified specialist.

The scheme also provides a clear framework for continuous improvement, supporting businesses in meeting and exceeding industry requirements. From robust quality management processes to best practice installation techniques, becoming an AFI Certified Contractor is a powerful way to build credibility, win more work, and stand out in a competitive marketplace.
