Verified, not open
Verification is what makes a network worth relying on. We keep the bar where it needs to be.
About TradeCore SOS
Built for thetrade industry.
TradeCore SOS is a UK-wide trade-industry assistance network. We exist for one reason: when a tradesperson gets stuck, the clock is already running — and ringing around for help shouldn't be the slowest part of the fix.
Our Mission
Nobody should be stuck on their own.
When a van won't start, a tool fails, materials run short or a machine goes down, a tradesperson faces a choice: lose the day, or spend hours ringing round for help. Neither is good enough.
TradeCore SOS was built to collapse that gap. One press puts your situation in front of verified local providers who can actually help — matched on capability, availability, location and performance, not just who happens to be nearby.
We're not a directory and we're not a marketplace listing. We're a response network — designed to behave more like an emergency service than a search engine.
What We Stand For
The principles behind it.
Speed is the product
Every design decision is judged on one question: does this get help moving faster?
Local by default
Trade problems are local problems. The right help is usually nearby — it just needs finding.
Built with trades
Designed around how trade work actually happens, not how a software company imagines it does.
The Wider Picture
Part of the TradeCore ecosystem.
TradeCore SOS is designed to become part of a wider platform — connecting assistance, jobs, marketplace products, logistics and trade services through one place.
Assistance
The SOS response network — where TradeCore SOS sits today.
Jobs
Trade work opportunities flowing through the same account.
Marketplace
Products, tools and materials sourced from within the network.
Logistics
Moving parts, equipment and materials where they're needed.
TradeCore SOS is the assistance layer. Marketplace, jobs and logistics form part of the wider TradeCore roadmap — available in full through TradeCore Platinum.
