Tried and tested professional services at the touch of a button

FOR almost a decade, Safe Local Trades has been championing consumers through an online service providing thousands of customers with easy access to reliable and reputable tradesmen.

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.

And now Eileen has launched a sister company to the service which has seen over 11,000 local reviews being left for tried and tested traders.

Safe Local Services – which will offer recommended and vetted services from accountants to dog groomers and hypnotherapists to tattooists.

Despite being in the early stages, a number of services – which Eileen is currently limited to three per category for the first year of business – have already signed up, these include financial advisers, HR consultants, beauty therapists and many more.

Eileen explained: “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 will undergo a stringent vetting process, have its own profile, gallery of images and a chance for consumers to leave their own feedback and reviews. We have found over the past nine years that consumers trust 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 in them and their business, and ultimately win more business.”

Spaces for services will be limited to a first come first served basis, and anyone keen to be featured on Safe Local Services within the PE postcode can register their interest now at www.safelocalservices.com/service-providers
