My Partner is a self employed multi trade builder, does anyone know the best way of advertising his services?

It is good flyer but it names him as the director. That makes it look like he does not do the work himslelf but is running a company of employees. Which is it?

Try your local area. Your local advertising magazines that are free from collection points locally.
Is there a Parish Magazine for local people as they run local trade advertisements for very little charge. Corner shops and notice boards and advertising boards in supermarkets where business cards can be left.

Building a solid local trade will work wonders as word of mouth will spread your business far quicker than hundreds of advertisements.

Perhaps some charitable work with your local volunteer bureau and a few simple freebies with the elderly once a week will spread the word as well.
