TrustMark momentum builds as FairTrades drives accreditations
Published:  10 October, 2008

FairTrades - the leading multi-trade association and TrustMark Approved Scheme Operator (ASO) - is seeing a significant increase in the number of businesses moving forward to TrustMark status; with the ASO having managed the accreditation of another 16 KBB companies in the last couple of months.

While the number of companies progressing through to TrustMark has been steadily growing, there has been a marked upswing of late. FairTrades attributes this to both the credit crunch - as retail installers seek to improve consumer confidence and differentiate themselves from lesser competition - and the increase in profile of the scheme through its adoption by Homebase and Magnet.

TrustMark - the award-winning scheme supported by Government, the building industry and consumer groups - is designed to help consumers seeking home improvements find reliable and trustworthy tradespeople. It is available to all sizes of retail installation businesses - whether large or small - provided certain criteria of professionalism can be met.

FairTrades has been promoting its vetted trade professional members for over 25 years; and has been a TrustMark ASO since 2006. Members reap the benefits of increased marketing, business support, sales leads and special offers.
