Tameside Trading Standards has launched their Buy With Confidence approved trader scheme to support legitimate businesses and to protect the residents of Tameside from the rogue trader. The scheme has over 170 businesses/traders on the list but is expected to increase very quickly to become a comprehensive directory of reliable, trusted traders. All members are independently checked by staff from Trading Standards for compliance with the letter and spirit of the law and will benefit from positive publicity.
JDA Architects have been members of this scheme since inception, and have recently confirmed their commitment & advertised with the Council in the Tameside newspapers.
Trading Standards will put consumers in touch with approved traders who have agreed to provide a trustworthy, high standard of customer service. The scheme will help to give customers peace of mind, particularly older and vulnerable consumers who need to know who they can trust and will protect them from becoming victims in their own homes.
