TradeUnited has launched a new benefits platform.
According to a statement, TradeUnited brings verified tradespeople together across different trades, employers and ways of working, giving brands and partners a defined trade audience while bringing exclusive benefits back to its members.
Members can join directly or access TradeUnited through participating employers.
The platform launches with offers from brands including Bosch Professional, Ledlenser, KeySafe, Drivalia, WasteOnline and Direct Ferries.
As more of the trade joins, TradeUnited said it aims to use the collective scale of its membership to unlock better benefits, services, support and opportunities for the people within it.
TradeUnited was founded by Dave Hinchcliffe, Luke Johnson and Andi Whyles. Dave and Luke were part of the early team at Blue Light Card, holding senior roles as the platform developed and grew.
Dave said: “The trade is massive, but individually we’re still just individual customers. Bring enough of us together and that changes.
“That’s the thinking behind TradeUnited. If we can bring more of the trade together, we have more pull with the brands and businesses that want to work with that audience, and we can bring more of that value back to the people actually doing the job.
“We’re starting with useful offers from good brands, but that’s only the beginning. The bigger TradeUnited becomes, the more useful we want it to become for everyone who’s part of it.”
