What makes TrustMark different?
We are a not-for-profit, Social Enterprise, which means we do not make money from customers and any profit TrustMark does make is allocated to delivering better services and benefits to our Registered Businesses and the consumers who rely on us.
Becoming TrustMark registered through your chosen Scheme Provider brings the added confidence that you have successfully met the requirements of the TrustMark Code of Conduct and Annex A of the Framework Operating Requirements V2

Increase your TrustMark visibility
All TrustMark Registered Businesses can use the TrustMark logo to notify customers and potential customers that they are part of the Government Endorsed Quality Scheme. Due to current circumstances, we are unable to post our full welcome pack to you which includes a set of vehicle stickers and an example of the feedback cards. However, we have made a note of your business and once we are able to, we will send these out to you.

You can access a copy of the Registered Business Code of Conduct, containing useful help, guidance and legal tips, all of which have been approved through our Trading Standards Assured Advice partnership from our website.
