Personally I don't think there is any real yearning  on the part of your average carpet cleaner for a new association, not matter what it is called. I'm no great fan of the NCCA but i think it ticks all the boxes for those who feel the need to be seen as a part of something bigger than themselves.

I have personal experience within the various cleaning industries which backs up what you are saying, but I'm not writing it all out again.

Trade associations are voluntary organisations and you choose whether to join or not. They do offer some benefits to membership.
Think yourself lucky you are not forced to join health and safety organisations such as Safecontractor or CHAS. You have to do this for fire and flood work contracts with some suppliers now. To comply takes hours and hours of work. Also BDMA as well as most other trades organisation (including Clean Trust) require you to undertake personal development training. This includes study and also attending regular training classes throughout the year.

And what a waste of time and money that lots is.
I used to be part of that and I'll put my hands up now, that upon yearly renewal time I just filled in the forms as they wanted them filled in just so it 'passed.' No one checked up on it, and the final straw was when I saw non safe contractor people working for an organisation that was only supposed to use safe contractor certified people. A JOKE of a set up.

Hector

I've got a license for my pet bee. He's also called Eric

Actually it's a dog license with the word "dog" crossed out and the word "bee" written in in crayon.

But that's only because the man didn't have the right form.

Not sure who had the nuts to start TACCA,think it was Derek West.Fair play to the man,at least hes trying to do something a bit different.Everybody has there opinions about joining trade organisations,but if its not for you,dont join.Simple.Credit to people like Derek for making the effort.
