Trusted's exciting times are set to continue, and on Monday around 2.30pm Trusted announces that Sara, one of the Trusted co-founders, will be interviewed live on Saskatoon's community radio station CFCR 90.5FM. She will feature on the popular 'Afternoon buzz' show , so set your alarm to tune in or LISTEN LIVE here.

The Trusted team have been busy dealing with the flood of enquiries / nominations and requests that poured in after the CBC interviews aired on Friday 6th May, and we have been meeting with and seeing businesses round the clock after they heard about Trusted & wanted to find out how and if it was possible to get involved.....in all the excitement we have not had time until today to talk in depth and properly introduce  the6 wonderful Trusted Saskatoon companies that went live last week.

1. International Furniture Wholesalers: Saskatoon's 2nd Trusted Furniture Listing.

If you haven't heard of this store before today...well, you are not alone...International Furniture Wholesalers doesn't advertise much at all,they have built up a solid reputation through word of mouth since opening their doors not so long ago. Trusted is thrilled to be able to tell you about this company, and recommends that you go and see for yourself what it has to offer! The HUGE warehouse is on Faithfull Avenue,North of 51st street, and it is not your typical furniture store. As crazy as this claim might sound, we know it to be true...they have EVERYTHING you are looking for.......browse around the small showroom when you first walk in, or go through the doors to the huge warehouse where all manner of furniture is stored on shelves reaching high above you to the roof....there is lots to see and tempt you there..or climb the stairs to the discount section, and maybe you will be lucky enough to find what you are looking for at a bargain price. If you are looking for a particular piece and you don't see it on display....well don't despair, just wander back into the showroom and tell the staff what you are looking for, they will sit you down and hand you 3, 4, 5 or 6 catalogues from manufacturers all over the world to browse through...find the perfect modern and contemporary bar stool from Italy in white leather and stainless steel...or perhaps you are looking for a  marble topped dining table that seats 10...what ever it is, whatever style you are looking for, International Furniture Wholesalers can get it for you. No wonder it is the 'go to' place for the cities saavy Interior designers who are looking for pieces to thrill and excite their clients. We recommend checking out their listing here  or going to their Facebook page to see some pictures ...or simply drop by in person..the staff are wonderful, and they can't wait to help you find EXACTLY what you are looking for. Here is a stunning bedroom set that is sure to tempt you....

What an exciting and crazy time for the Trusted team. The interviews for CBC Radio Saskatchewan ( on Blue Sky , the CBC long running Saskatchewan news/call in , magazine daily lunchtime show) and CBC TV Evening news for Saskatoon and also Saskatchewan were broadcast on Friday May 6th. The CBC radio interview with founder Sara Wheelwright was broadcast live and you can listen to the full 9minute interview by clicking here. Find out why Trusted was founded and what the process of verification is for the businesses who have made it on the site.

The CBC TV interview with Jill Smith was broadcast at 5.10pm in the Saskatoon news ..then a longer segment appeared in the Saskatchewan news at 5.40pm . Click here to see the founder Sara as she talks about the Trusted concept ( the article is 9mins 28sec in to the News Broadcast).Thanks to Laddie at Hairstyle Inn for doing a wonderful job on the hair at very short notice...more proof that he is well deserving of his great reputation and place on our site!

Things started happening straight after the Radio interview was broadcast , with one lady sending an email within minutes of the end of the broadcast to ask if we could recommend a good roofing contractor( as there are no listings on the site in that category yet) ....Trusted replied that we don't have anyone we can confidently recommend at this time..but we do have a meeting set up with a local contractor that specializes in roofing next week that comes highly recommended..so I hope to get back to her soon with a Trusted Roofer! What this shows is how Trusted works...the lady that contacted us, did so as she felt after hearing the interview that we would give her the best advice, that she could Trust our recommendation...she didn't go to Yellow pages, Google or go to her circle of influence, her friends or her family..she went straight to TrustedSaskatoon.com to get answers...because it is the Smart & Simple choice.

After the TV interviews aired we were inundated with nominations through the website via the NOMINATE A BUSINESS button on the 'Contact Us' section of www.trustedsaskatoon.com . The nominations covered many, many categories and we will be spending next week following up on those recommendations...we really appreciate your time and effort to all the people that contacted us..and please encourage others to do the same..Good businesses deserve recognition!

People also contacted us to tell us how much they loved the site and the idea itself, and that they can definitely see themselves using Trustedsaskatoon.com as a great resource when they need a recommendation!

A friend of Sara's contacted her through Facebook to say how great she thought the idea was after seeing the link to the CBC coverage..she had this to say about Trusted

"Great biz idea Sara .... Moving to Spain in 2003 I found the language barrier a hindrance at first and would choose English companies for my needs ...but these tended to be expensive, as they took advantage of this .. It took a lot of time but through recommendation I ended up using local Spanish companies which were equally if not better than and considerably a lot less expensive. Also there weren't the regulations you find in the UK so i found a lot of Cowboy's would set up business on the Costa Brava/ Cost Del Sol without even having the necessary qualifications... I heard stories of people not just being over charged for services, plumbers Electricians etc but horror stories of bogus mortgage companies with people loosing their life saving! Moving here to New Zealand I was recommended an Immigration adviser by a friend but have been bitterly disappointed by this person.He gave incorrect advise, did not respond to queries, basically i ended up doing most of the work myself... T...he stress involved was unbearable... relocating abroad is stressful as it is! I ended up having to find a different adviser who has been amazing but I have lost ( been ripped off! ) over £2,000 Trusted is a fabulous company not just for people who are relocating to the area but like you say, not all of us know someone who can recommend a certain type of business. GREAT WORK LADIES AND WISHING YOU ALL THE SUCCESS YOU DESERVE X Ursula Bell.

So, the word about Trusted is now out..and the general consensus overwhelmingly, is the the time is right for Trusted!

The Trusted team are excited to announce that they were contacted by CBC Saskatchewan about Trusted saskatoon.com.

The CBC reporter Jill Smith heard the news about Trusted ..and thought it sounded like a really interesting concept and that it was certainly very newsworthy. She contacted us throught he website on the contact us page and then asked some more questions, she requested an interview with the Trusted founder Sara Wheelwright ..we were more than happy to oblige and that took place this morning ( Thursday 5th May ).

The interview will be broadcast on the CBC evening news province wide on Friday May 6th between 5-6pm... We will also be featured on CBC radio ( 540AM across the province or 94.1FM Saskatoon ) news at 6.30am, 7.30am and 8.30am.

If that wasn't enough excitement for one day, we were then contacted and invited to be on BLUE SKY the CBC Radio Long running Province wide daily magazine/news show hosted by Garth Materie. click here to check out more about the show if you are one of the few who haven't tuned in!  Our interview will be live and will be on between 12.15pm-12.30...and if you miss it don't worry you can go to past shows and listen to the podcast after by just clicking on that page of the CBC site.

AND 3 more listings went live on Trusted Saskatoon today : Mortgage Brokers,  Painters & Decorative Paint and Furniture...we will be talking about them AND the next 3 listings that will be going live in the next 24 hours over the weekend and into next week!

The snowball is gathering momentum for Trusted,  we are so excited to be doing what we are doing and providing this great service to the people of Saskatoon... Good businesses deserve recognition and we all want to find businesses we Trust....www.trustedsaskatoon.com and the trusted family really is the SMART and SIMPLE choice!

Trusted is proud to have this wonderful businesses on board with www.trustedsaskatoon.com , as both of them came highly recommended by their clients and associates.

Lets tell you a little about each of them, and what sets them apart and makes them an easy , hassle-free choice for anyone looking for an RV or  Painter.

Tom Oakes founded TRX RV a few years ago, and the company has quickly become one of the top RV dealers in Canada and North America.They call themselves 'The Heavyweights in Lightweights' and as much as that is true, it doesn't tell half the story of their success and what sets them apart within their industry. He has negotiated, bargained and networked his way to be an exclusive dealer for some of THE most prestigious names in the RV world ...AIRSTREAM and HEARTLAND. TRX RV is a member of the RVDA ( The Recreacional Vehicle Dealers Association) and Tom is always striving to offer the best possible RV for his clients needs, wants and budget ....the clients we surveyed gave an extremely large number of 10 out of 10's ...even the men...which is very unusual , as men have historically been tougher on survey rating companies than women...."Why would I go anywhere else?" ...was the ongoing theme ..and Trusted has to agree. Once you see the staggering amount of choice and inventory on display on the outside lot...or in the fabulous 'twilight campground themed' inside showroom ..well you can be assured that you will defintely find what you are looking for!
