hi keith - so, the start-up has been tasked to built a prototype of a 'matching' service between tradesmen (or tradepeople I should say really right!) and domestic clients. Think of ratedstrademen - thats the closest thing I can openly compare it too right now - really we are looking for seasoned veterans who are very well connected and know what it would take for tradespeople to join a platform. PM me if you want to have a chat.

Travelling for xmas now but will post back here / respond to msg's when I can!

Hi Rav, this idea has been done to death and then done some more. This is not a bad thing because other people are obviously making money from it, so can you.

But you gotta be better than good to make it work.

rav - sent you a contact I have, possible non-exec for your startup. this idea has been done before (wouldnt say to death just yet) but clearly there isnt a UK nationwide market leader and I for one think this type of idea IF done correctly will kill off the big fat directories I get every six months outside my front door - so good luck with it.
