When you're a Trusted Trader, we're there to support you

We're more than just an endorsement logo. We'll support your business through our dedicated account managers, moderated online reviews and an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) service. Plus you'll automatically become a Which? subscriber.

Read on to find out about the full range of benefits.

Give your customers confidence

Which? Trusted Traders has teamed up with OrderWork to help you get more recognition in the market. While OrderWork helps you to pick up installation jobs with the big name retailers, our endorsement will help you stand out from the crowd when customers are sourcing their own traders.

The Which? Trusted Trader logo sends out a strong signal to customers. It tells them they can be confident of receiving a good service from a reputable business, and it gives them the peace of mind that comes from having access to a dispute resolution service if things go wrong.

Which? Trusted Traders – part of consumer champion Which? – endorses traders all over the UK, and consumers from all over the UK are able to access our website for free to find traders they can trust.

Please note that Which? Trusted Traders are in partnership with Orderwork and they do not hold an endorsement from Which?. All members of Orderwork must apply and pass our assessment process before becoming a Which? Trusted Trader
