To deliver the GAI mission of ‘advancing architectural ironmongery’, our team comprises staff and volunteers drawn from a wide range of backgrounds, experiences and specialism.

On a day-to-day basis the Guild is managed and run by its management team. 

The Guild is governed by an Executive Committee which sets the vision for the organisation and provides strategic guidance to the management team.

The Guild’s activities are based around the three pillars of education, technical standards, and community, and our committee structure reflects this. There are three standing committees, and occasional short-life working groups to address specific issues. The committees are member benefit-focused, defining how the organisation develops in response to members’ needs.

Philip Goldberg

The Executive Committee is the governing body of the GAI and is formed and operates according to the Memorandum, Articles of Association and Code of Professional Conduct. The Executive Committee sets the vision for the organisation and provides strategic advice to the management team.

The Executive Committee is comprised of member volunteers (except the salaried Chief Executive of the GAI) and appoints a President, Vice President and Treasurer for two-year terms.  The composition of the Executive Committee is ratified by the membership each year at the AGM. Each year at least two seats on the committee become available for member nomination. In situations where there are more nominations than seats available, an online election will take place.  GAI full company members (with no monies owing) can vote for their preferred candidates and each valid member will be given one vote.
