TaskHer operates an online platform that lists only tradeswomen, enabling homeowners to book and pay verified women tradespeople with pricing set upfront. The company was co-founded in 2022 by Anna and Paul Moynihan after their own experience of being sidelined during a renovation, and it has connected over 4,000 customers with tradeswomen across London. TaskHer has extended its mission into a partnership with Refuge to supply trauma-informed maintenance to domestic abuse safe houses. The platform distinguishes itself from larger UK trade directories by screening specifically for tradeswomen and focusing on visibility to grow demand and supply. In 2024 the company reported 79% revenue growth and has run a Crowdcube campaign as part of its fundraising to date. Planned product and commercial priorities include continued platform development and B2B expansion into housing associations, lettings agencies and women’s refuges.

Certchain provides an AI-enabled workforce compliance platform that connects to more than 40 official training and regulatory bodies to instantly verify construction credentials and generate a live, portable “skills passport” for every worker. The system replaces manual card checks and fragmented spreadsheets with centralised, continuously updated data, giving contractors automated alerts on emerging skills gaps and compliance risks. For workers, the accompanying app features Cara AI, a personal career assistant that identifies missing qualifications, recommends training, and highlights pathways to better roles. By offering sector-specific, real-time verification, Certchain differentiates itself from generic HR tools and basic credential checkers. The company is targeting major UK contractors and aims to equip thousands of workers with portable profiles in the near term. Newly secured funding will accelerate enterprise roll-outs and expand the platform’s competency management tooling. Financial details beyond the recent raise have not been disclosed.
