Essential Feature
Reliable Local
Handymen
Retired police officers in Warrington
are pioneers in an ambitious national
network of highly vetted handymen
launched by ‘Blue Local Handymen’.
Helping to combat the endemic ongoing
problem of cowboy builders and dodgy
tradespeople, local retired police officers
with a passion for home maintenance
and gardening are taking up tools to
provide peace of mind to the residents
and businesses of Warrington and Wigan.
Typically police officers retire after 30
years service and a huge number are still
eager to continue playing an active and
productive role in their communities.
All of the handymen prove themselves
capable and experienced in indoor and
outdoor home maintenance works
before joining the network and carry
recent Enhanced CRB (Criminal Record)
Checks.
Managing Director, Nick Orde-Powlett,
hopes that the company’s rigorous
selection process will bring security and
peace of mind to people in the North
West:
“Our vetting process is second to none.
All of our handymen are friendly retired
police officers with many years working
in the community under their belt –
they understand peoples’ concerns and
fears better than anyone else and they
genuinely care.“
the unregulated and fragmented nature
of the market allows for too many
immoral rogues to operate under-theradar which has regrettably eroded trust
from the British public. Back in 2012
The Office of Fair Trading reported a
shocking 70,000 complaints related to
UK home maintenance sector. Using this
unique pool of talented and trustworthy
individuals, the Blue Local Handymen
network is hoping to ensure total trust
through a careful selection process
and a rigorous ongoing feedback and
improvement programme to perpetually
monitor and improve the service for
customers.
Local Warrington Handyman Mark
states: “I like helping people in the local
community and I take pride in providing
a valued service at a reasonable price.”
The national network is now assisting
clients across 18 branches in the UK and
more retired police officers are joining
every month. Due to high demand in
Warrington and the North West Blue are
welcoming applications from further
retired police officers in the area.
