Connecting Local People with Local Trades & Businesses

Local Postcode Directory was created with one clear mission:
To bring trust, fairness, and community connection back into how people find trades and businesses in their local area.

We proudly serve the Malvern (WR13 & WR14) and Worcester (WR1 to WR8) postcode areas — helping over 55,000 households connect with more than 4,800 local tradespeople and businesses.

Why We Exist

Unlike national platforms that charge high lead fees or prioritise advertisers, Local Postcode Directory is designed to be local-first, transparent, and community-driven. We don’t sell leads. We don’t push businesses to the back unless they pay more. Every listing is sorted by location, giving everyone a fair chance to be found first.

We believe local people should be able to hire local, vetted trades and support independent businesses with ease and confidence.

A Message from the Founder

Hi I’m Mark Stephenson founder of Local Postcode Directory.
After many years working in the trades industry and seeing how homeowners and small businesses struggle to connect fairly and locally, I knew something needed to change.
To many platforms today sell leads to the highest bidder or bury small honest businesses beneath big budgets paid ads. It’s impersonal, unfair — and worst of all it pushes local trust out of the pitcher
That’s why I built Local Postcode Directory — a simple postcode driven platform designed to give power back to local communities, here tradespeople and businesses are shown based on how close they are to the customer & not how much they’ve paid.
There are no expensive lead fees, no gimmicks, and no contracts — just a fair and transparent system that helps local people find trusted local help.
Whether you’re a tradesperson, a small business owner or a homeowner looking for someone reliable nearby — this platform is for you.
Thanks for supporting local
Let’s grow something great together
Warm regards,
Mark Stephenson
