Our take

Checkatrade created the online market for searching, engaging, and reviewing tradespeople back when the digital age was just beginning. Now a household name, it's on a huge growth journey to once again lead the market in every home improvement project seamlessly for both consumers and tradespeople, through its end-to-end digital marketplace. Put simply, Checkatrade connects people with highly skilled, quality tradespeople - and the trades with the tools they need to do their jobs.

Checkatrade has ambitious plans for expansion and innovation. It offers the agility of a start-up with the reassurance of an established organisation and has a team of more than 500 working flexibility from both Portsmouth and its R&D Hub in the heart of Kings Cross.

Recent initiatives such as launching a new quoting and invoicing tool, demonstrate its ongoing efforts to continuously improve user experience and streamline and automate operations for both consumers and trades. The company has made sure it stands out against its competitors with its commitment to trust and quality, raising standards and its dedication to customer satisfaction.
