Checkatrade Acquires Selected Assets From Rated People

Checkatrade Group, home of the UK's largest trade platform Checkatrade, has today announced the acquisition of selected assets from Rated People - including its brand and website. 

The deal strengthens Checkatrade Group's market-leading position, bringing a well-known brand into the fold as Checkatrade continues to digitalise the industry and connect more consumers with vetted trades.  

For 20 years, homeowners have used Rated People to find tradespeople quickly and easily through a website and app. 

These services will continue, and from today, jobs posted on Rated People will be matched with the UK’s largest trade network from Checkatrade, with Checkatrade members now benefiting from access to leads from both brands. 

Jambu Palaniappan, CEO at Checkatrade, said: "This acquisition by Checkatrade Group marks a significant milestone in our growth journey. Rated People is a well-known, established brand with a loyal customer base built on ease and convenience. Our ambition is to grow the brand to serve the many homeowner and trade needs across home improvement, and we look forward to sharing more as these plans develop."
