Double celebration for safe trades boss
Business marks 10th anniversary with expansion of services
The entrepreneur behind Peterborough based Safe Local Trades is enjoying a double celebration after expanding her 10-year-old business.
Director Eileen Le Voi created the award-winning Safe Local Trades - an online service providing access to reliable and reputable tradespeople - a decade ago.
Now she has just expanded the business with the creation of a new service called Safe Local Services.
Safe Local Services was officially launched by the Mayor of Peterborough, Councillor John Fox at a celebration for members of both services held at Peterborough Greyhound stadium.
It offers recommended services from accountants to dog groomers and dentists to website designers and will build on the success of Safe Local Trades.
Eileen said: “We are thrilled to be able to celebrate our 10th anniversary with so many of our valued members.
“Since Safe Local Trades was established in 2008, we have been asked for recommendations on dozens of dif- ferent services outside the remit of tradesmen – hence we are now able to launch Safe Local Services.
“The aim is to provide consumers with professionals by offering peace of mind when instructing a service.
“Each service has been vetted, have their own profile and a chance for consumers to leave their own feedback and reviews. We have found consumers trust and rely on our recommendations.
“The benefit is two-fold, as professions becoming a member of Safe Local Services benefit from a trusted and highly respected service - as well as a reputable brand name.”
