20/7/10 "Buy with Confidence"

Trading Standards Approved Trader Scheme

The Trading Standards Trader Approval Scheme, Buy with Confidence, was launched by Northamptonshire County Council on Friday 2 July.

The Buy with Confidence Scheme brings together many types of businesses from all over Northamptonshire, which have been individually checked, for trustworthiness and compliance with consumer protection laws.

The Scheme also aims to marginalise the rogue traders who often target the most vulnerable members of the community.

Northamptonshire residents can now access a list of reliable traders to carry out work in their homes and gardens.
