Hi, we are Justin and Susan Cotter, and we live with our Leonbergers in a totally off grid property on the side of a mountain in Mid Wales which we renovated from a derelict farmhouse and barn over 10 years in our spare time. Both of us have had our own professional careers.
Susan
Susan spent 30 years as a solicitor and Legal advisor to the Magistrates in the criminal courts, Family law advisor and Welsh lead for reciprocal enforcement. Susan is a very good cook and artist enjoying watercolours.
Justin
Justin spent time as a professional yacht skipper and instructor, served as a Watch Officer for Her Majesty's Coastguard, then progressed to become a Captain on commercial support vessels. Coming ashore Justin set up a Handyman business having worked on his own houses and picked up a cross section of skill sets and stack of various tools over the years.
Mixing with householders and tradespeople we noticed that clients struggled to find reliable tradespeople and to access advice, and traders were being asked for ridiculous sums of money every month to advertise their services. So we came up with this web site is a potential solution - a place where house holders can easily get some practical advice and a list of local tradesmen whom they can contact directly and check out the google reviews at no charge.
The tradesman can access advice and get local enquiries without having to bid for jobs or pay commissions etc - they simply pay £5 a month for their listing which helps with the upkeep of the website.
