BBC Radio 4 - You and Yours, Gap Finders - Anna Moynihan from Taskher

We speak to the co-founder of an online platform that helps you book tradeswomen.

TaskHer is an online platform that allows people to book skilled and qualified tradeswomen in just a few clicks.

This week’s Gap Finder is Anna Moynihan, the co-founder of TaskHer. It is an online platform that allows people to book skilled and qualified tradeswomen in just a few clicks. 

The idea for the company came to Anna and her husband Paul whilst organising building work at their house. Every time Anna booked a tradesperson for a job or a quote, she found that they would instinctively speak to Paul about what needed to be done, despite the fact that she had made the booking. This gender bias led them to realise how under represented women were in the trades – which are 96% male in the UK.

Anna and Paul launched the business in July 2022 and it has since grown to represent 40 tradeswomen and completed over 1800 jobs.

We speak to Anna about starting an impact-driven business, the challenges of being a start-up and her plans for the future.

PRESENTER: SHARI VAHL

PRODUCER: CHARLIE FILMER-COURT
