We've Run A Trade Business
Not Just Marketed One

We’re David and Gaynor, the people behind The Trade Advantage.

Before we helped local businesses with marketing, we spent more than 20 years building and running our own locksmith and security business, with a shop, a team on the road and customers to keep happy.

We know what it’s like to win the work, deliver the job, manage the team, chase payment and still find time to grow. The Trade Advantage is built on that real-world experience.
