If you are a supplier, AVA membership and its quality accreditation will boost your credentials, and inevitably your business, because it:

• Confers valuable status
• Recognises your commitment to quality
• Is often a mandatory pre-requisite to submitting a tender.

Accreditation requires you to abide by two sets of declarations: the AVA Code of Conduct and the AVA Customer Charter.
