Which? has been rigorously testing products and services for more than 60 years - They are also assessing and endorsing local tradespeople. Like their well known Best Buy logo, the Which? Trusted Trader logo is a sign of reputation and trust, helping consumers choose the right trader for them and giving good traders the recognition they deserve.
Which? Trusted Traders is an endorsement scheme run by Which? that recognises reputable traders who successfully pass an assessment process carried out by their trading standards professionals. Not just anyone can become endorsed. The assessment process includes:
This is obtained to validate the financial health of a business who applies to be assessed.
The Which? Trusted Traders endorsement team will contact a selection of customers from a trader's most recent work to check references.
A thorough examination of business and administrative procedures to ensure that businesses have consumer interests in mind.
Their standard assessment is conducted face-to-face or via a video call, at the traders' business premises, and is carried out by a Which? trading standards professional to fully understand all aspects of how the applicant runs their business.
Businesses receive a report of the assessment, providing valuable feedback from our experienced assessors to ensure that they meet our high standards before they are allowed to join the scheme.
Having passed all these checks, Red Pencil Pest Control has been able to choose to join the scheme, agreeing to abide by the terms and conditions, Code of Conduct. We can now show our customers that we are an endorsed Which? Trusted Trader. Due to the high demands of the assessment, not all businesses that apply get through the assessment process, we are proud to say we became endorsed first time through.
