Pipeline
Industries Guild Membership Information

Pipeline Industries Guild provides unrivaled opportunities for members
of the industry from all disciplines to exchange technical and marketing
information, and meet socially.
Overview
The
Guild's seven branches in the UK and Ireland each have comprehensive
programmes of technical meetings and visits, which combine with
social gatherings (dinners, golf outings, etc.) to furnish members

and renew acquaintances in a friendly peer-group environment.
