Busy Brits on a budget boost local businesses

Brits are too busy juggling their career and home life to waste time and money chasing cowboy builders and rogue traders.

Recession-ridden consumers need a way of finding the right tradesman or supplier at the best possible price.

That’s according to ejobdone.co.uk, the latest online matching system where no job is too big or too small.

“I was fed up having to make countless phone calls to different people to get work done on my house,” says Kelly Sallows, founder of ejobdone.co.uk. “I’m a single mum with two children and chasing quotes takes up too much time. Sometimes it takes weeks to get somebody to commit to a job when really the tradesmen should be chasing me.”

Consumers simply post the job they need doing for free on ejobdone.co.uk and wait for service providers to bid for the work.

“The best thing about ejobdone.co.uk is that it features all the services you need in life, from childcare to funeral services, from grass cutting to hair extensions, you can find what you need,” says Sallows.

Not only does the site help the consumer, it is boosting British business one job at a time.

“ejobdone.co.uk allows smaller, one-man firms to compete with the bigger companies and bid for jobs in their area,” says Sallows.

“For less than the cost of a postcard in the shop window, service providers can register on the site and get their own webpage, a directory listing and bid for work.”

Service providers are given an ejobdone.co.uk rating, based on criteria such as public liability insurance, and also by customers on the jobs they have completed.

“The best traders get the best rating and get the best jobs, it’s as simple as that,” says Sallows. “People get jobs done at ejobdone.co.uk.”
