The
U.K. Trades Confederation (UKTC) was formed in 1995
and has grown in strength ever since.
The Confederation has a strict vetting procedure that
all new members have to pass before being allowed
to carry the emblems and receive the certificate.
Ongoing vetting is a strong element of the membership
criteria and we encourage feedback from our member's
customers.
Initially members were drawn from the Construction
and Home Improvement sectors. As we have grown and
introduced more and more unbeatable membership benefits
we have attracted and recruited members from every
walk of Industry, Trade, Retail and Commerce.
Membership of UKTC currently numbers over 9,000 small
and medium sized business from most trade sectors,
which gives us significant strength and a massive
buying power.
The membership benefits and services were negotiated
and introduced gradually, until by early 1998, most
of the core services were in place. By
late 1998, the Confederation was attracting the attention
of Retailers because of its Merchant Service rates
and Finance packages, and so the Retail Membership
was launched.
There are many good trade organisations in the
U.K.
providing various benefits of membership
from specific trade advice to government lobbying.
The UKTC fits into the picture by providing a large
range of business benefits & services to help
its members Do Business Better.
We have forged many strong associations with major
trade and industry bodies including Trading Standards,
FENSA, planning departments, Investors in People and
ISO 9001 providers among many.
Our aim is to provide members with the benefits and
services they want and to provide the Public with
a reliable source of professional businesses that
they can trade with in confidence.
We look forward to continuing to serve our members
and the best interests of their customers.
Mission
Statement:
The UK Trades Confederation was established to help
members increase their business, protect their business
and reduce their overheads. We do this through an
extensive range of benefits and services which are
continually being reviewed and updated.
It is our policy that only reputable companies and
individuals that are committed to improving standards
and that wish to be accountable for their work are

stringent vetting criteria, which incorporates continued
customer assessment to meet that aim.

of providing independent proof of customer satisfaction
whilst also providing a valuable management tool.
With new benefits constantly being added, there has
never been a better time to join us.
