They will be deemed an Affiliate or Accredited member dependent on whether the business has been in existence for 3 years.Examples of organisations that fall into this category would be software, sourcing, benefit providers, consultants, catalogue groups, trade printers, trade embroiders – ie. anyone providing a “service” in most cases to both channels.
