ABOUT
MARKETING GROUP OF
GREAT BRITAIN
The Marketing Group of Great Britain was created in 1949 when twelve marketing professionals began meeting informally at the Lansdowne Club, Berkeley Square.
During the ’50s and ’60s the MGGB grew, moved to the Dorchester Hotel and began to invite celebrity speakers. In the’90s the club reached its current headcount of 150 and we moved to Claridges. The club continues to be distinguished by a convivial atmosphere, inspiring speakers and an impressive membership list.
Membership
The aim is to create a rich space for debate and networking, in line with the written constitution of the club. There is also an Emeritus Group for those whose careers have evolved beyond a focus on the UK marketing sphere.
APPLYING FOR MEMBERSHIP
Applicants must be proposed by a member of the Group. Prospective members are then invited to submit an application form (available from info@mggb.co.uk) to the Administrator. Applications are considered by the Membership Secretary, Nina Bibby and reviewed regularly by the Council. The annual membership subscription is £300 + vat per annum, with a one-off joining fee of £250 + vat. The Emeritus membership is £200 + vat per annum.
The Council
Core membership is 150-strong (plus Emeritus members) and is regulated by the nine members of the MGGB Council, who are supported by a further nine Council Advisors drawn from past Chairs. The Council enrols new members and ensures the club remains true to its objectives and constitution. If you require a copy of the Constitution please contact charlotte.whitaker@mggb.co.uk
