South Ayrshire Trusted Trader

South Ayrshire Trusted Trader Scheme is part of the Scottish wide trusted trader network.

The Trusted Trader scheme is a directory of local businesses that have been vetted by Trading Standards and Trusted Directory Services and have made a commitment to treat their customers fairly.

The Scheme is based on customer experience and customer feedback. Trade members of the scheme ask their customers after a job is completed to provide feedback on what they thought of the job and the feedback is published on an independent website.
