Living in smaller communities comes with lots of benefits: one being that the trades and services businesses are often better, because you can’t be bad at what you do and expect to survive in a place where everyone knows everyone else.
But it’s also true that we often don’t know what trades and services are around, because they’re so busy they never need to advertise!
New England Times is dedicated to telling the stories of the businesses that make our region tick. Last month we highlighted the makers, and this month, it’s the doers.
We Want to Tell Your Story
We are looking for local trades and services businesses – from micro-businesses to major companies – to feature in our “Trades you can Trust” series.
Whether you are a traditional tradie, like a mechanic, builder, plumber, or electrician, a trade that doesn’t always come immediately to mind like hairdresser, counsellor, or graphic designer, a service business like a cleaner, book keeper, or personal trainer, or perhaps a professional service, like accountant, lawyer, or consultant, we want to highlight your great work.
And it’s absolutely free to be included in this feature. Really.

Nominate today using this form! Stories will start from May 17, and the earlier you nominate the more chance you have of being included.
