Buy with confidence!

A. A. Security is pleased to announce that it has recently become a member of Redbridge Trading Standards ‘Buy with Confidence’ Scheme.

The scheme provides residents, consumers and other businesses with a diverse list of companies and individuals involved in all areas of home repair, security, maintenance and improvement that have been vetted and approved by their local trading standards office.

Accredited businesses have all been checked for trustworthiness and compliance with consumer protection laws. Trading Standards Officers visit & vet every applicant and must meet a specified criteria before are they accepted.

The Buy With Confidence Scheme was launched in 1999 by Hampshire County Council and has been so successful that it has grown to include many other Trading Standards Services across the country with over 150 trade categories. In Redbridge, the trading standards service is part of the award winning Bogus Callers Partnership which includes partners in the Fire Brigade, Metropolitan Police, Neighbourhood Watch, Home Improvement Agency and others helping residents avoid rogue traders and bogus callers.

The message is that if you are looking to employ a trade or service, an approved ‘Buy with Confidence member is a good place to start. www.buywithconfidence.gov.uk
