Trusted in Mexico is a partnership co-founded by Lisa Clarke
Lisa arrived in Mexico City from Barbados in 2014 with no support system of family and friends to recommend businesses or services to her, she struggled to find good providers for her many immediate needs. With a new language, new culture, looking for products and services her family required, was almost impossible. She continually encountered bad services.
This was a very stressful experience and she searched for something online to find local, verified businesses; something for people like her and the thousands of other newcomers that were arriving every month. People with no local knowledge or contacts, people from all around the World. This was the beginning of Trusted in Mexico
In 2015, she started meeting other foreigners and expats for coffee and chats and quickly found that they too shared the same despair of finding businesses that not only spoke English but that were highly recommended and offered excellent services and products.. It was from here she recognized the need for a network of trusted businesses that spoke English in Mexico City.
In an attempt to connect these newcomers with businesses she created Facebook groups focusing on connecting foreigners and providing a safe community for newcomers to the city. Over the years the community grew and the demand for these trusted businesses grew with it.
Having met with hundreds of newcomers over the period of 4 years who shared many stories of being left feeling taken advantage of both emotionally and financially from businesses throughout the city was always the center of many conversations. Newcomers are always left with invoices triple or more of initial quotes, services that do not show up.
It was clear something better was needed for the 1 Million Visitors who visit Mexico CIty Annually. She wanted to create something that demanded EXCELLENCE in service as standard, something that could absolutely be TRUSTED!
Over the last 5 years relationships were developed with the best of the best of service providers throughout Mexico City. To date over 100 Trusted Businesses from Party Providers to Therapists were approved as businesses you can trust in the city.
In 2019, with a growing community of trusted businesses that are highly recommended within her online Facebook communities, partnerships were sought to make available this Business Network for all of Mexico and for the over 1 Million visitors to the city annually.
With the right Business Partnership and a committee in place, to screen approve and continually monitor and ensure these businesses uphold the high standards set out in our trusted pledge of business which includes: Customer centric service, fair pricing, quality products and services delivered in a timely manner, Lisa´s focus remains on connecting foreigners, especially moms new to the city via weekly coffee and chats, annual events with now not only a trusted community for finding meaningful relationships offline but also a network of businesses offering EXCELLENT products and services they can TRUST.
