Why choose an IOC member?

Look for the letters

01 · Assessed

Independently checked

Members are approved only after we assess their qualifications, track record and references. Only members at MIOC grade and above are listed here.

02 · Committed

Bound by our Code

Every member commits to our Code of Conduct – integrity, competence, professionalism and respect for their clients.

03 · Developing

Always improving

IOC members keep their skills current through ongoing learning, including the WOMA Academy.

Before you hire

Good practice for clients

  • Ask for references and examples of similar work
  • Check they have the competence for your project
  • Agree the scope, price and timings in writing
  • Look for MIOC or FIOC after their name
Terms of use

The Institute of Carpenters provides this search facility so that members can advertise their services. Inclusion does not mean the Institute endorses any individual or company.

Clients should ask for references and satisfy themselves of a member’s competence. The Institute accepts no liability for any dispute between a listed craftsperson and their client.

Listed members have passed recognised craft examinations or a formal interview. The directory is not a complete list of members, as some choose not to be listed – contact Head Office if you can’t find who you’re looking for.
