Businesses offering something to Trust members
Chris Culshaw · [email protected]
Technology support for Dale members — free and discounted services, whether you're a sole trader or an established business.
Digital Health Check — free to members (normally £150)
A plain-English report on how your business looks online: whether your emails are reaching people or landing in spam, how fast your site loads on a phone, your Google listing and your domain security. One page, no jargon, no obligation, and a 20-minute call to talk it through.
Starter Website — 30% off for members
A professional one-page website, live within two weeks. Domain, secure hosting, email set up properly and your business listed on Google. £695 for members, normally £995. Ongoing care £18 a month covers hosting, backups and small changes whenever you need them.
Technology Review — free to members (normally £750)
A half-day review of your systems, software spend, data and risks, with a written summary you can act on. For businesses with staff and a few systems that have grown organically. Usually saves more in wasted subscriptions than it costs.

Discounts negotiated directUnit 3, Spen Business Park, Rochdale OL12 6AS · Dave on 01706 368444
Business cards, stationery, signage and print of every kind, from a Rochdale firm with a reputation for going well beyond what was asked of them.
10% off — ask for Dave“I went in simply to have my football client’s CV printed, and not only did they do that, but they also printed 120 of my business cards completely free of charge. On top of that, they gifted me a pen and a highlighter, envelopes, and even writing paper. But most of all, the kind, encouraging words they shared moved me to tears.”
“What touched me most was not just their generosity, but their genuine passion for wishing both me and my client the very best. People like this are rare. They asked for nothing in return except my smile.”
