TrustMark and Trading Standards join up for new accreditation

TrustMark is working in partnership with Buckinghamshire & Surrey Trading Standards to deliver a ‘Trading Standards Approval’ scheme to help consumers gain confidence when they employ a tradesperson.

The scheme is being delivered by local authorities across the UK and will also give firms local reassurance with national recognition, a statement said.

With rising consumer expectations, homeowners are seeking higher levels of service and quality workmanship, resulting in tradespeople having to meet and deliver better standards of work and customer service for every job they do. The Trading Standards Approved scheme isn’t just another ‘badge’ to add to a firm’s website, van and marketing materials, it’s an investment offering great benefits – consumers like the added confidence when seeing businesses that have been ‘approved’ directly by Trading Standards and businesses want to provide a clear message that they can be trusted and relied on,” added Simon Ayers, CEO of TrustMark.

To join the scheme firms will need to be TrustMark registered and then they will be able to apply for TrustMark to complete the necessary checks in order to gain the approved accreditation.
