Help Direct - Safe Trader Scheme in partnership with Lancashire County Council Trading Standards

Help Direct's Safe Trader Scheme is funded by Lancashire County Council and managed by Lancashire Trading Standards Service.  The service aims to help citizens of Lancashire find a reliable trader, as well as supporting local businesses.

All members of the Safe Trader Scheme have met minimum requirements, set out by the Trading Standards Service and have all committed to adhere to a Code of Practice.  Not only does this give you added peace of mind when choosing a trader, but the support of Lancashire Trading Standards Service also means that there's someone to help if things don't go to plan!  To find out more about the service, please click on the link below.
