FAQ.

Q. What is a Guild?

A. A Guild is an association of people with similar interests or pursuits.

Q. Is the Master Guild of Window Cleaners a trade association?

A. No. Trade associations are governed by complex and restrictive legislation in many countries, and it is therefore near impossible to have a single trade association that can work on an international level. A Guild is a more informal association (or club), which can work freely with members from all over the globe.

Q. How is the Guild run?

A. The Guild is run by window cleaners, for the benefit of window cleaners. All work is done on a voluntary basis, and is unpaid.

Q. Why are the member fee's so low?

A. The Guild was designed from the very beginning to run at the lowest possible cost to its members. The Guild does not have a dedicated call center, or offices. As much communication as possible is carried out via e-mail to reduce phone costs, and the admin staff work on a voluntary basis.

Q. I want to join, but I don't know any existing members who could "sponsor" my application?

A. E-mail us at: info@mgwc.org and let us know where you are. We will contact the members nearest to you and arrange for them to meet you with a view to being your sponsor.

Q. Who does the day to day work running the Guild?

A. The Guild admin coreteam consists of 3 members: Nathanael Jones, Richard Honey and Graeme Anderson, supported by Senior Guild members Pat Purcell and Duke Theedon. All are long established window cleaners and are well known moderators/admin on various window cleaning forums. A "meet the admin" page will be posted shortly with a short biography and more info about each member of the team.
