The DBA Experts Register comprises design industry experts who provide fee-based professional advice. It is not open to suppliers of products or systems or those who derive their business from commission. To ensure the integrity of the register we identified the following key criteria, which must be met to ensure that you are eligible to join:

• experts must have a minimum of 3 years relevant design industry experience in their given area

• experts must be able to provide us with 3 referees from within the last 3 years

A one-off non-refundable registration fee of £250 plus vat covers the administration costs incurred in the vetting process. This involves us securing three references for you. If successful you will then be asked to subscribe to the register for which there is an annual subscription fee of £1,040 plus vat.

The registration and subscription fees are per expert and not per company. Companies cannot join.

If you feel you meet the above criteria please start your registration by clicking here.

What do I get for my annual subscription?

• Subscription to the DBA newsletter Insight

• DBA promotion of Experts Register in every newsletter and all events UK-wide

• Invitation to two free London-based networking events to meet other experts and the DBA team

• Two complimentary tickets to attend any of the DBA's members events nationwide

• Members rates on tickets to all other events

In the future

• We want to build a culture of openness about the level of activity that goes through the register. It is our aim to add a level of access for experts that allows you to see how frequently your details are being searched and what areas of business advice appear to be most in demand. As soon as we have the funds to add this to the register, we will list it as a benefit above.

• If you have any further ideas/recommendations about how this register could be improved do feel free to call our Experts Register Manager Adam Fennelow on 020 7251 9229 or click here.
