I think you can do it straight thro' ELECSA, another sticker for the van!

cheers
Dave

Will it get you more work, unlikely. Will it mean you are more 'competent', no. At £50, ---- a coin .......

I'd invest the £50 on a set of logo'ed polo shirts - a far better investment IMHO

Do clients really care about trustmark or similar? I doubt it.

Businesses have operated successfully for years without this nonsense.

Going with Murdoch on this one. Logo'd clothing for a professional appearance.

Its a great shame that the 'Trustmark' logo doesnt really mean anything about your competency. A bit like the part 'P' registration scheme!

In an ideal world having the 'Trustmark' attributed to you should mean you have been assessed and found to be a competent and ethical tradesman who you can have trust in doing a decent job for you. Unfortunately it doesnt mean that ......

 

[telectrix]

yep. all it means is that you're a plonker that's given away £50 for a sticker, when that same £50 would buy a fair amount of ale.

i got it , first year i thought it was a bit of a waste, then last month i got two good jobs out of it! don't forget to ask customer how they found you! knowledge is power...

waste of time joining,rip off,why pay a company £450 a year just to be able to get advice from them at the end of a phone because that's all you will get from ELECSA
