Buy With Confidence
Trading Standards Approved
Buy With Confidence is an approved trader scheme which has been set up to assist residents to find reputable local businesses.
The scheme is run by a partnership of local Trading Standards services, including the unitary authorities of Essex County Council in partnership with the Southend-On-Sea and Thurrock Borough Councils.
Our business is audited by Trading Standards to ensure that we comply with consumer protection legislation and monitored regularly from feedback submitted by our clients.

Client feedback and comments
All prospective members are thoroughly vetted by Trading Standards staff before being invited to join the scheme.
The performance of members of the scheme is continuously monitored via the Citizen's Advice Consumer Service and through customer feedback submitted directly to us.
It would help us if you could take the time to complete a feed back form available from any of the H L Hawes & Son Ltd funeral offices. All details will be held in the strictest confidence.
In the unlikely event that concerns are raised about a member we take appropriate action and if necessary will remove them from the scheme.
If you have a complaint about a Buy With Confidence business and would like advice or would like to speak to someone in person, please phone the Citizens Advice Consumer Service.
