Double celebration for city business dedicated to championing consumers

WHEN it comes to looking for a recommended and reliable tradesperson – there is one city business that has been championing consumers for a decade.

For the past 10 years, the Safe Local Trades online service has been providing thousands of customers within the PE area with easy access to reliable and reputable tradesmen.

And in a double celebration, Safe Local Trades director Eileen Le Voi has launched a sister company – Safe Local Services; which received its official unveiling at a recent special celebration for SLT / SLS members, attended by Peterborough Mayor, Cllr John Fox.

Consumer confidence and working tirelessly to force out rogue and cowboy traders across the Peterborough area, Safe Local Trades and its director Eileen Le Voi have received a number of awards for the community-focussed service.

Safe Local Services – which will offer recommended services from accountants to dog groomers and dentists to website designers – will seek to build on the huge success of Safe Local Trades; which has attracted over 12,000 positive reviews.

Hosting a celebration for SLT/SLS members at the Greyhound Stadium in Peterborough, Eileen explained: “We are thrilled to be able to celebrate our 10th anniversary with so many of our valued members, and of course the Mayor of Peterborough Cllr John Fox. Since Safe Local Trades was established in 2008, we have been asked for recommendations on dozens of different services outside the remit of tradesmen – hence we are now delighted to be able to launch Safe Local Services.

“The aim is again to provide consumers with professionals by offering peace of mind when instructing a service.

“Each service has been vetted, have their own profile and a chance for consumers to leave their own feedback and reviews. We have found over the past ten years that consumers trust and rely on our recommendations.

“However, the benefit is two-fold, as professions becoming a member of Safe Local Services will benefit from an already trusted and highly respected service - as well as a reputable brand name.

Gaining the Safe Local Services seal of approval will provide instant consumer confidence and trust and ultimately win more business.”
