Membership of the Merchant Company gives the practical and social benefits of a modern business forum combined with traditions and a history unique in the city of Edinburgh.

This isn’t about joining a networking forum. The Company believes membership can be a two-way street, where Members can serve the Company as well as enjoying the benefits from being part of this prestigious organisation.

As a Member, that means you may:

• attend Company Meetings;
• and support business and social events.

You may also be invited to:

• serve on Standing Committees if asked;
• assist the Education, Liaison & Enterprise Committee with:
  • Presentations and talks at Merchant Company Schools
  • Mock Job interviews for pupils at Merchant Company Schools
  • Running Business Dynamics Courses
  • Young Enterprise Advice
• and support the Charities Committee by arranging fund-raising events and supporting the work of the Almoner in the community.

In doing this, you will be carrying on the traditions that have existed for more than 300 years and will ensure that they will continue on for the next 300 years.
