Best Bar None
Best Bar

operation of alcohol-licensed premises with the ultimate intention
of offering and maintaining a safer, more welcoming, attractive and
lively drinking experience.
Fairtrade
Fairtrade was launched in 1994. It is a credible,
independent consumer guarantee for products that help producers in
developing countries get a better deal. See how
Fairtrade could benefit your business.
In March 2005 Carlisle became one of the first 100 places in the
United Kingdom to receive
Fairtrade status.
Cumbria County council has passed a resolution to support
Fairtrade in the county. We will be working the Cumbria Fair Trade
Network to attempt to become only the second county in the UK to
win Fairtrade status.

Trustmark
TrustMark is a scheme supported by the Department for Business,
Innovation and Skills, trade bodies, local trading standards and
consumer groups to help people find reliable and reputable
tradespeople to carry out repair, maintenance and improvement work
inside and outside their homes.
TrustMark is a single logo to look out for that covers all the
main trades. Firms can be awarded the logo by a TrustMark approved
scheme operator, but must comply with Government-endorsed standards
covering technical competence and good customer service.
