Good Afternoon Safe Trader Member,

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and New Year!

I wanted to let you know that the Lancashire County Council Communications team is currently promoting the Safe Trader Scheme. They recently shared the following post on Facebook, LinkedIn, and X and also more to come.

🛠️ Planning home improvements, maintenance, or repairs in 2025? A trader recommendation site can help you find the right professionals.

ℹ️ While these sites connect you with various traders, it’s crucial to understand how each operates and the checks they perform.

The Consumer Markets Authority has published guidance on what to consider when choosing trader recommendation sites to ensure they are as reputable as they claim.

Our Trading Standards runs the #SafeTrader scheme, featuring 400 Lancashire-based traders verified as reputable. Learn more about the scheme here ➡️ Lancashire – Safe Trader Scheme – Home

Please share these posts if you can and add a link to your Safe Trader Profile in the comments to drive more traffic to your profile. If you’re part of any local social media groups, please post about the scheme. We often hear about Rogue Traders, especially at this time of year, so spreading the word is crucial to help protect residents.

Thank you for your continued support!
