Y ou’ve seen the TV programs and read the news stories about rogue traders, but does this mean you know enough not to fall victim to one? Can you honestly say that you know the danger signs? As in most things, prevention is better than cure so we are delighted in this issue of FORCE magazine, to offer guidance on how to avoid using a trader that will leave you out of pocket, with a poorly repaired or renovated property which could even be a death trap. You will find advertisers in the pages of FORCE that will offer the services of a skilled professional that you can trust. Home Improvement is of course a great way of expanding on your investment, and by no means should you be put off using a professional – you just need
to know how to identify one and even then, what steps to take to ensure you get a good job, at the right price and to the satisfaction of both you and the firm you use. And for honest businesses the threat of being a crime victim is a constant threat to the ability to run a profitable business. The theft of tools, vehicles, stock and the threat to staff is something that can be the difference between success and failure. We are equally happy to share some great advice on how the business community can take stock of their crime prevention measures and make life as difficult as possible for those that seek to undermine their livelihood. Enjoy FORCE magazine, take heed of the advice offered and thank you for helping us to be a force for good.
