Leading UK consumer champion, Checkatrade, has built an enviable reputation for looking after the nation’s homeowners by providing easy to access, up-to-date information on vetted local tradespeople, and now the firm is set to provide even greater benefits to its members by partnering with construction giant, Caterpillar.
Members already receive a range of significant benefits including inclusion in the Checkatrade search feature which has the potential to put a member’s details before thousands of homeowners looking for a reliable tradesperson in their area.
To become a member of Checkatrade and join over 25,000 of the UK’s best tradespeople who have already signed up, potential members must undergo a thorough background check and commit to, and uphold, the ‘Checkatrade Standard’.
The standard outlines the service customers can expect from Checkatrade recommended tradespeople, including being courteous, keeping appointments and being honest in all dealings.
With a commitment to service at the core of its business, Checkatrade chooses its partners very carefully, only ever working with those businesses that reflect its own commitment to quality.
Recently announcing its decision to work in partnership with Caterpillar, Checkatrade Founder and CEO, Kevin Byrne points out why it was an easy decision:
“Caterpillar is a world-renowned company built on a strong ethics and is committed to providing the very best for its customers, something we can relate to at Checkatrade. With its innovative products and solutions, it was an easy decision to work in partnership with them and give our thousands of members discounted access to these great workplace solutions.”
Checkatrade members receive 30% off products at www.shopcaterpillar.co.uk and the Shop Caterpillar range includes everything the busy tradesperson needs to work safely and in style and comfort.
