The Trusted Trader Scheme is being set up by the City of Edinburgh Council in response to demand for a “go to” list of reputable businesses when people need work or repairs carried out.
There is potential for the scheme to reach more than 225,000 households and members will be able to use the Trusted Trader Scheme logo on materials and vehicles.
It will be open to all trades – with the exception of the food industry – and any businesses interested in being included in the scheme are being asked to register their interest here(external link).
Membership of the scheme, which is set to start in summer 2015 once a list has been established, will cost £200 (plus VAT) each per year. Each applicant will be checked and vetted by the Council’s Trading Standards team to ensure compatibility with the principles of the scheme.
