The Guild is the First Step to becoming a Livery Company, We need to have this for 4 years
We are now taking the next historic step in our profession by working towards the creation of the first Livery Company for Quality Professionals, a landmark development for quality across the UK.
For too long, Quality Professionals have played a vital role behind the scenes, safeguarding standards, improving outcomes, and protecting lives, yet without the recognition afforded to many other established professions. This new Livery Company aims to change that by providing a respected home for Quality Professionals, rooted in tradition, professionalism, and public service.
This journey is about more than prestige. It is about raising standards, promoting competence, supporting education and training, and giving Quality Professionals a stronger collective voice within industry, government, and society. Above all, it is about leaving a lasting legacy for future generations of professionals.
We invite you to play a meaningful part in this journey. By joining us at this early stage, you will help shape the values, direction, and purpose of a Livery Company that truly represents quality in the UK.
Join us today and help us make a real and lasting difference to quality across the UK.
At its heart, the Guild stands for professional stewardship. It believes that quality is not an afterthought or a tick-box exercise, but a discipline requiring knowledge, judgement, accountability, and ethical leadership. The Guild promotes competence through learning, mentorship, and the continual raising of standards, ensuring that those entrusted with safeguarding quality are equipped to do so with confidence and authority.
As it progresses toward full Livery status, the Guild stands firmly on the principles of tradition, fellowship, and progression, honouring the customs of the City while addressing the demands of a modern, regulated, and ever-changing professional landscape. Through its members, council, and future Livery, the Quality Guild is committed to leaving a lasting legacy: raising the standing of quality professionals and ensuring that quality itself is recognised as fundamental to safety, performance, and public confidence.

The Quality Guild is the first potential Livery Company dedicated to quality professionals, celebrating excellence, competence, and integrity across industries. It provides a platform for networking, professional development, and recognition, bringing together those committed to raising standards and shaping the future of quality in the built environment and beyond.
“It has taken time to start up a Livery Company for quality professionals because quality as a recognised profession has only recently begun to be properly valued across industries. Unlike older trades or professions with centuries of formal recognition, quality has historically been seen as a function rather than a vocation. The creation of the Quality Guild represents the culmination of years of growth in professional standards, training, and competence.”
“In today’s complex and high-risk industries, the role of quality professionals has never been more critical. Regulatory requirements are stricter, projects are more technically demanding, and failures can have serious consequences for safety, finances, and reputation. The Quality Guild provides a central voice for competence, accountability, and best practice, ensuring that quality is recognised, celebrated, and embedded at every level. ”
