John Lewis department stores have teamed up with NICEIC for a new Home Solutions service it is launching in a number of areas across the UK<\/h2>\n

The Home Solutions service will put customers in direct contact with professional tradespeople that it has carefully checked, vetted, interviewed and assessed.<\/p>\n

The service was trialled in Milton Keynes earlier this year and will operate in six other locations including Cardiff, Bristol, Newport, Bath, Taunton and Gloucester.<\/p>\n

NICEIC CEO Emma Clancy said: \u201cWe are delighted to be working with John Lewis on the electrical side of this initiative.<\/p>\n

\u201cHome Solutions brings together two trusted brands and will provide further opportunities for our contractors to win more work.\u201d<\/p>\n

John Lewis approached NICEIC last year to find electricians for the launch of the Home Solutions service. Several NICEIC registered contractors signed up to take part and a rigorous recruitment process was created, which included interviewing the tradespeople, background checks, and assessments of work they had done previously.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe John Lewis brand is associated with quality and so we felt it was a natural fit for NICEIC,\u201d added Emma.<\/p>\n

\u201cJohn Lewis wanted a brand they could trust and we felt this was something that would appeal to our registrants. One of the key requirements was that everyone involved was a reliable and high quality tradesperson.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no cost to sign up. It is completely free and a great opportunity for contractors to grow their business and be associated with one of the most recognised and respected names in the market.<\/p>\n

\u201cJohn Lewis is also keen to get female tradespeople on board so NICEIC\u2019s Jobs for the Girls campaign<\/a> was of great interest to them.\u201d<\/p>\n

John Lewis customers will be able to hire plumbers, electricians, decorators and other trades through the app, website and call centre-based service.<\/p>\n

Tom Athron, who is group development director at the John Lewis Partnership, said: “As a trusted retailer of home products, our customers often ask us if we can help them with tasks in their homes.<\/p>\n

“We have taken a lot of care to find professionals who will deliver service to the standard that people expect from John Lewis.”<\/p>\n
