Happy 7th Birthday Service Central
This month Service Central celebrates our 7th birthday. It was way back in July 2005 that Service Central launched into business as “the easy way to find trades and services” with a massive radio campaign on Melbourne’s Gold FM.
Never before had the people of Melbourne been able to call a single number (1800 SERVICE) ask for any tradesperson or home service that they so desired and have quality pre-verified and insured businesses calling them back. The result was instant with job requests flooding through from day 1. It was a bold concept that has since shaken up the way that people from all over Australia now go about finding their trades and home services.
Service Central has been constantly improving year on year with more services across more areas now available. Today we offer over 120 different types of services, and are available throughout Australia. We are particularly strong in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth. As a result the number of jobs posted with Service Central continues to build and this month thanks to you we will receive our 300,000th job request posted through the system.
