Honest, Fair & Truly Deserved – A Standout Awards Platform

We at Cortec IT Solutions Ltd are incredibly proud to have been selected by Three Best Rated as one of the top IT companies in Dartford for the second year running (2024 & 2025). In an industry full of pay-to-play recognitions, what sets Three Best Rated apart is their transparency, fairness, and integrity.

Unlike many award systems, they don’t charge for placement—meaning their selections are genuinely based on merit, reputation, and service quality. Every interaction we've had with the Three Best Rated team has been professional, prompt, and supportive.

We’d especially like to thank Melinda Crawford, Senior Support Executive, for her excellent communication and assistance throughout the process.

This recognition means a great deal to us and reflects the hard work we put into supporting our clients. We wholeheartedly recommend Three Best Rated to any business that values honest recognition based on real performance—not payment.

They truly live up to their name: The Best.
— Cortec IT Solutions Ltd

The Best

It is indeed an honour and a privilege that Norwich Dog Training School has been selected and once again awarded Three Best Rated in Norwich 2025, making this our third year in succession for receiving this prestigious award.

We would like to thank ‘Three Best Rated’ for selecting our small business in a very competitive world for this very highly valued award. Our business in contrast to others is not a large organisation with multiple employees, and online training platforms with large advertising budgets. Ours is one, that prides itself on offering the personal touch and the very best service we can practically deliver.

What makes this award so special to us is that, unlike many paid for awards in the marketplace ‘Three Best Rated’ seeks no financial payment, so their award system is fair, honest and not in any way biased.

All communications with 'Three Best Rated' are handled professionally, speedily with a support service that is second to none.

I can sum up 'Three Best Rated' in two words ‘The Best’.

You can't trust a business just because…

You cannot trust a business just because it is on The Three Best Rated. Their 50 point check is also just BS. If they did actually do those checks like they claim to do, there would not be so many complaints and you would not have so many cowboys listed on their site.

I have had to clean up the work of one of their listed "Three Best Rated" cowboys before. In fact, I would not even want to list my own business on there now, knowing what I know about some of their listed TBR businesses, as I think it could be viewed as more of a negative thing, as customers get more and more bad experiences from the businesses that list themselves on the TBR website.

The fact that TBR do not publish customers' negative reviews is very telling. It is a red flag for me, and it does not give customers any transparency, or anyway of being able to judge on whether or not a business is any good or not. Reviews good & bad are a fundamental part of being able to assess a business. If a website controls its own reviewing system, it is basically untrustworthy. No if or buts.

And let us be honest, as for the reviews on here, you are not going to get bad reviews from anyone listed on their website. You will only get praise, as the reviewers are literally reviewing their own advertising platforms. It would be madness to criticise the integrity of a website that lists their own business. They willl tell you how good & trustworthy it is because they are literally listed on it.

I personally know a business that blatantly lies to mislead people on the Three Best Rated website too, and people who administer TBR just allow it to continue.

Knowing what I know, if I am ever to have a Three Best Rated badge on my website, it will read 'NOT' Three Best Rated!

Added response to ThreeBestRated's reply:

You currently have a competitor in my area recommended on your website who has not even got a website. Neither are they a member as a professional trade association. We 'professionals' pay a lot of money each year to be part of a trade association, because it ensures we have the correct training, qualifications, liability insurance and are part of the CPD (Continuing Professional Development) scheme, which ensures that we are kept up to date with regulation, legislation and training.

I am sorry 'ThreeBestRated', but your website is fundamentally flawed. You are essentially promoting businesses that may not even have insurance, let alone the correct qualifications & up-to-date training.

(ThreeBestRated's official updated review policy, effective November 2025)

Hello Ian,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us.
I can understand how disappointed you are with us as your business application didn't get selected to list on our website. Three Best Rated® was created with a simple goal to find you the top 3 local businesses, professionals, restaurants and health care providers in any city. Our employees handpick top 3 local businesses based on our 50-Point Inspection, assessing reviews, reputation, history, price, proximity, and more to ensure excellence. About 4.5 Million customers per month trust Three Best Rated to find the best businesses without any effort in key cities along with their complete information.
We do review all negative feedback and take note of them for consideration. However, it's important to note that we are not a review site but an international rating website. We compile both negative and positive reviews to determine the best businesses. Reviews are just one aspect of the criteria we use to evaluate businesses. In essence, we go through the reviews so you don't have to. If you have any further information or would like to discuss this matter in more detail, please feel free to contact us directly at support@threebestrated.co.uk

Job Done Removals

Job Done Removals

I cannot recommend these lads enough! I had been anticipating the stress of moving house and dreading it for weeks but when the day finally arrived, Jamie and Chris made it completely stress free and did absolutely everything for us. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Jamie has been brilliant throughout the whole process of booking job done right until the very end. Jamie and Chris are so polite and friendly and really look after you and I couldn’t have wished for a better set of lads to help us with our move, they were brilliant. Thank you again, I would give more than 5 stars if I could.

I have a profession however to get this…

I have a profession however to get this award you pay a fee and then get chosen with lots of other companies locally. I have been going longer than most in the area. I have all my qualifications etc great reviews. But I won’t pay you to give me some fake award.. avoid at all cost it’s obviously a scam to get you to purchase the awards scheme. You make a fortune at people stupidity

Hello Samantha,

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience with us.

I’m sorry to hear about your concerns. While I understand your disappointment in not being selected, I want to clarify that there is no charge to get listed on our website. "Our policy is free to list or update any business on our website because if you can pay to list, then is it really the best business? No Pay to Play!" Our listings are based on a 50-point inspection, and we select only the top businesses for our website. It's therefore unfair to suggest that we requested payment for featuring you on our website. Since your complaint is generic we would appreciate more specific details which will help us to assist you better. If you have any further information or would like to discuss this matter further, please feel free to reach out to us directly at support@threebestrated.co.uk

Keep up the good work…

I was chuffed to hear that my removals business was listed on the three best rated website. They offer an excellent service for small businesses like mine to get additional coverage and for customers to find the best local businesses in their area. Great communication and customer service and lovely friendly staff particularly Melinda. Keep up the good work guys!
