Hugely Successful Locksmith Network Expands Across the UK
Following the highly successful localised trial of a new network for locksmiths, the Rated Locksmiths platform has now expanded to cover all UK towns and cities. Interactive Network Ltd, which already operates popular brands such as iTechnician and myWindscreen, is the driving force behind the brand new UK-wide network of over 300 professional, independent locksmith businesses operating within the commercial, domestic and automotive sectors.
Rated Locksmiths is an online price comparison platform designed to make it easy and cost effective for anyone, at any time, to quickly identify experienced local key experts when needed. Featuring a user-friendly interface and simple quotation process, customers can find, book, and schedule a visit from a locksmith with the right skills, at the right price, within minutes. It costs nothing for customers to request a no obligation quote.
With independent locksmiths typically being categorised under the same umbrella, there has long been a need to highlight the individual specialities of these businesses to facilitate a more straightforward provision of services. Rated Locksmiths sets out to forge a single, simple point of contact that enables customers to connect with local experts operating within the required niche, helping them to save time, minimise the effort needed to review potential suppliers, and ultimately generating improved outcomes.
“Rated Locksmiths was born from personal experience; from the realisation that, when facing a stressful and time-sensitive situation in which a locksmith is required, nobody has the patience to rifle through directories to find and contact multiple businesses for quotes,” says Rated Locksmiths’ Al Lijee. “What usually happens in these circumstances is that customers select the first business that offers to help, despite the fact that there’s no guarantee that this business actually has the skills or experience needed for the job at hand or is quoting a fair price.”
“Rated Locksmiths is designed to transform the industry, not only empowering customers to make an informed decision, but also supporting independent locksmiths themselves as they strive to build, develop, and grow their business.”
The Salford-based technology entrepreneur driving the growth of Rated Locksmiths is certainly no stranger to on-demand technician services. Lijee is the brains behind the UK’s largest and most successful windscreen repair and replacement network, myWindscreen, and founded the iTechnician network which has gone on to become the country’s biggest Apple device repair service
The idea for Rated Locksmiths arose from a personal experience that left Lijee struggling to find the right help, at the right time, for the right price when a family member needed assistance with a broken key. “Until that point, I hadn’t realised just how difficult it was to pinpoint a locksmith that was not only local, but had the appropriate skills to do the job, and was available right away,” says Lijee. Through the expansion of the platform, Lijee hopes to provide support for those in similar situations.
Today, the Rated Locksmiths platform covers the whole of the UK, with locksmiths from all towns and cities across England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales encouraged to register. More than 300 locksmiths have already listed themselves for 24/7 availability, and thousands of requests for quotes are being processed by the system each month. With such rapid success, international expansion could soon be on the cards.
