Duncan Cronin
Sole tradesman
Prospect Plumbing Services, Bristol

Duncan joined Rated People in June 2008 when he left a larger corporation to become a self-employed. The focus of Duncan’s work is bathroom installations and maintenance / repair work.

Rated People helps Duncan find the right quality work, concentrating on larger bathroom installation work lasting a week at a time. He purchases on average 6–10 leads a month and Rated People allows him to be more productive with his time, as he can read the detail of the job descriptions to assess whether the job is suitable and has adjusted his map settings to avoid receiving job leads over the M48 toll bridge. Duncan has received over 40 ratings and recommendations on Rated People, helping grow his reputation.
James Read
Sole tradesman, sub-contractor
J. R. Read Plasterers, London

James has been a plasterer for 15 years. He has stopped advertising in directories or listings as the majority of his work comes from word of mouth. James has been using Rated People since May 2008, and purchases on average 3 leads a month looking out for the medium to larger sized jobs.

He does not look anywhere else for work, as he likes the quality of job leads that come through Rated People. James also uses Rated People during quieter periods, especially around January and February, giving him a steady flow of work all year round. James uses Rated People via his iPhone, as he is constantly out and about which helps him be more productive with his time. Great feedback from his customers (over 16 ratings on Rated People) has helped James expand his service into other trades, like fitting kitchens, using sub-contractors.
Colin Hackett
Company Director
CH Westend Property Maintenance, London

Colin manages a medium-sized property maintenance company employing 30 staff, with over 15 tradesmen. The company offers a wide range of services covering plumbing, heating, bricklaying, plastering, double glazing and carpentry. Colin uses Rated People to find work over a wide range of jobs from small maintenance work to much larger projects.

He has his own website, but does not do any other marketing and was finding directories too expensive, with little control of when the work comes in. Colin receives his job alerts via email, which allows him to control the flow of work and pass the details onto his staff easily. Rated People allows him to update the services he offers on a regular basis depending on what tradesmen he has working at that time. This helps him receive the right quality job leads and the right volume at the right time.
