Feel assured! Since 2013, The Magazine Production Company has been proud to be a Trading Standards approved business to show it operates in a legal, honest, and fair way. 

As this industry is not regulated, the company has taken steps to provide its clients with a continued assurance of attention to service and value for money.

The Magazine Production Company’s managing director, Dean Cook, said, “Some clients received poor levels of service from previous magazine designers which included unsatisfactory workmanship, missing deadlines or leaving the publisher mid-production to pursue other client activities. No publisher should expect this level of service. Becoming a member of Trading Standards’ Buy with Confidence demonstrates we can provide clients with personal service, meet expectations and good value for money.”

Trading Standards’ Buy with Confidence scheme is the largest of its kind in the UK and allows potential clients to independently check on companies they are considering.

For any company to be on the scheme, they must pass a set of tailored background assessments. The membership scheme is not given lightly – amongst other checks, each applicant receives a visit from Trading Standards. A selection of clients would be contacted too. In addition, the company must abide by the scheme’s code of conduct, which requires them to follow the letter and spirit of the law.

If all the scheme requirements are met, a business will be granted membership, and its conduct will continue to be monitored. Clients can turn to Trading Standards for advice in the event of an unresolved issue.

Trading Standards act on behalf of consumers and businesses and work for local government councils. They advise and enforce laws that govern the way consumers buy, sell, rent and hire goods and services.
