About FIS
Finishes and Interiors Sector
FIS (Finishes and Interiors Sector) is the not-for-profit representative body for the £10 billion finishes and interiors sector in the UK. The organisation exists to support its members, improve safety, minimise risk, enhance productivity and drive innovation in the sector.
Our growing community of vetted members is made up of fit-out and specialist contractors, manufacturers and distributors involved in the supply and installation of ceilings, steel framing systems, operable walls, partitions, plastering, drylining and joinery products in every type of building.
“Construction is changing at the fastest rate now than I have seen in the past 20 years. The drive for competence, productivity and transparency is underpinned by changes in working practices, legislation, regulation and innovation. FIS is here to work with our members to set standards and underpin our core values, ensuring this future isn’t just done to us, but that we are prepared and shaping it.” Helen Tapper, Operations Director, Tapper Interiors and Past President of FIS.
