Ready to apply?
When you apply to become a Gold Corporate Partner you need to provide us with contact details for:
- Two business referees who can recommend your organisation for partnership.
- The person at your organisation who will receive CEP communications, such as our newsletter and any messages relating to approval of partner employee memberships.
All applications must be approved by the CEP Board. Approval will be delayed if your application doesn’t contain all the information we need.
After approval
Once your partnership application has been approved you will need to provide us with:
- Your accounts contact details
- Your company profile (we will supply a form which must be completed in full)
- A high-resolution digital copy of your organisation’s logo in either JPG or PNG format.
CEP will also send you an invoice for your partnership fee.
Partnership start date
Once all partnership criteria have been met and the invoice has been paid, your Gold Corporate Partnership start-date will be the date that you filled in the online application.
This date will also be the partnership anniversary date.
Employee start and anniversary dates
When the partnership sponsors an employee to become a CEP member, the employee’s start-date is the date their application is approved.
However, by default their first membership invoice will be pro-rata for the period between their application approval and the partnership anniversary. This allows the corporate partner to pay one annual invoice each year.
Note: The requirements for employee membership applications are the same as for Individual Membership.
