Highland Trusted Trader launches to consumers
Today, the Highland Trusted Trader scheme officially launched for local residents.
The scheme is growing, and there are many businesses currently being vetted by Trading Standards, and we hope a lot more Highland businesses will consider joining. Together, we can help reduce doorstep crime and rogue traders, while increasing credibility for local businesses and giving residents a source of reliable and vetted Trusted Traders.

At Highland Council we want every resident to feel confident when choosing someone to carry out work on their home or provide essential services. Too often, people are approached by cold callers or pressured into making quick decisions about the right information. We're working to change that. The Highland Trusted Trader scheme is designed to give you the peace of mind.
It connects you with local businesses, has been carefully checked and approved by our Trading Standards team. Every member of the scheme meets strict standards, so you'll know you're dealing with somebody reliable and professional. We encourage all residents to make the most of the Highland Trusted Trader scheme. It's a simple way to find trusted local help, that avoids the risks.
