Filter for listings with a quick “meet the owner” video before you call.
Focused on Hastings, Bexhill, Battle and Rye with trusted local people.
Every business joins because an existing member knows and trusts their work. Applications then go to a small membership committee that checks each listing and approves it for the directory.
Every profile shows who vouched for them. Growth is deliberately slower because quality and trust matter more. If you run a good local business, the directory needs you—talk to someone already inside and ask them to recommend you.
We encourage every business to record a short “meet the owner” video so you can hear their voice, see their space, and decide with confidence.
Look for the Has meet the owner video filter in search results to watch a quick introduction before you call or message.
If you already trust one local business, you can see who they rely on for their own work. That means more reliable trades, services and local favourites—shared openly between businesses.
Explore genuine relationships and follow the network of recommendations to find the right team for any job.
Powerful search that matches how you actually look for help—by category, by service, by name, or by the places you live and work.
