Our story

From tradespeople to debt recovery specialists

As a plumbing company, we frequently faced the frustration of non-paying clients, leading to significant financial strain. After years of writing off debts, we decided to take action—not just for ourselves but for fellow tradespeople facing similar issues. This led to the creation of Pro Trade Collections Ltd, a debt collection agency built on the principles of integrity, professionalism, and a deep understanding of the trade industry.
