A note from the founder

Why I created Jobbods

My name's Andrew Hedman. I run Aqua Force, a cleaning and drainage business here in Suffolk. I know what it's like to be good at the work and still have to fight for the next job.

I've bought leads from Bark and Checkatrade. I remember one in particular. I spent hours putting the quote together and getting every detail right, then over a week chasing: calls, messages, follow-ups between jobs. In the end I found out they'd already gone with someone else. I'd paid for the lead, given up my time, and got nothing back.

It always felt the wrong way round. The tradesperson takes all the risk, paying before anyone has even decided they want you.

So I built Jobbods to flip it. Customers post their job for free. You make your offer for free, then chat with the Customer for free, so you can ask your questions and get the details right before they decide. The Customer chooses who they want, and only then do you pay a small connection fee to unlock their contact details. There's no subscription and no commission on your work. You only pay when you've actually been chosen.

I'm starting in Suffolk and Essex because this is where I live and work. I want Jobbods to be the place local people turn to for the right Bod for the job, and somewhere good tradespeople can spend their time doing the work, not chasing it.

That's why I'd like you here from the start.
