Alliances

SAIF was established in 1989 to support independent, mostly family owned funeral directors, concerned about the proliferation of larger conglomerates. We currently have over 1000 members across 1,865 sites, as well as an additional 100 Associate members who supply products or services to the funeral profession.

The HTA was founded in 1899; an organisation formed by its members, for members. Their main aim, to represent horticultural tradesmen to deal with the issues they faced as an industry, still drives us today. The new organisation enabled united action in matters such as, railway rates, foreign competition, and taxation. When 60 men gathered at Garden Hall in 1899, they could never have known how what they started would grow and adapt. 

Golf Management Group (GMG) was established in 2010. Founded by a team of golf operators and there to serve operators we live by the premise “We Know Golf”.

GMG fundamentally is a purchasing alliance that provides the opportunity for golf clubs and businesses from all over the UK, to harness our collective purchasing power to leverage significant discounts without ever compromising on quality or service.

SIBA, the Society of Independent Brewers, was established in 1980 to represent the interests of the growing number of independent breweries in Britain.

SIBA currently represents around 750 independent craft breweries and our vision is ‘to deliver the future of British beer’ as the ‘voice of British independent Brewing’.

Christian Supply Chain Buying Group (CSCBG) was set up to support Christian and other charitable organisations. By helping them to save time, money and resource on everyday purchases, they can can release funds into their God-given mission.

 The British Franchise Association – The BFA – has become by far the largest and most influential trade association for franchising in the UK.  It is the only only UK association working in partnership with the European Franchise Federation and World Franchise Council.

The Federation of Master Builders (FMB) was established in 1941 and is the UK’s largest trade association for the construction industry.
