Talk to the Institute
A small team, and a real one — enquiries are answered by the people named below rather than a ticketing queue. Find who you need first; several of the most common questions have an instant answer here that beats waiting for a reply.

The National Secretary
State of Demolition →Sponsorship, events or hosting a meeting
Sponsorship packages, the Golden Jubilee, and offering your premises for a regional meeting.
The events team
Sponsorship →What to expect. The office is small, so a considered answer sometimes takes a couple of working days rather than an hour. If your enquiry is about a subscription deadline, a examination date or an application ahead of a Membership Committee meeting, say so in the subject line and it will be prioritised.
