Welcome Burnt Orange Solutions to Saskatoon’s directory of excellence!

Gareth McKee, the founder of Burnt Orange Solutions is a British Immigrant to Canada and he has worked for many years within the IT and Telecoms arena. Beginning his career in The Royal Corps of Signals with the use of Morse Code, 20 years later he has expanded his repertoire to include the most cutting edge IT solutions.

See what some happy Burnt Orange clients have to say about them!

"We have had to kiss a lot of frogs to find the IT Company we could work with and I am happy we found you. I am not technically minded and I don’t want to be. I run a business doing what I do best and I don’t want to be held back by things I don’t understand. From the initial meeting over coffee in Manchester’s Northern Quarter it was obvious that we could work with Burnt Orange Solutions. It was clear the technical cogs were turning but they made everything simple to understand. The project completed exceptionally well for us, there were minor hitches along the way as expected with any project as complex as this. To their credit Gareth and his team always worked through them and kept me informed of progress. We now have a much improved computer and telephone system which works for us in the way we wanted. I knew what I wanted to achieved when I decided to move offices but I had no idea how to get there. Thanks to Gareth and Burnt Orange my dreams are starting to be realised. " Seb

Oceanic Experience Wellness is truly unique, offering a different approach to wellness, stress and pain relief and best of all…..relaxation!

Imagine relaxing into a private sea and floating weightlessly into wellness….Oceanic Experience Wellness can do that for you! Their mission is to increase joy and bring relief. To relax, revitalize, and rejuvenate. To provide a space where people can literally FLOAT INTO WELLNESS. Oceanic wants to help you expand the quality, and extend the quantity of your life.

Quietly floating, suspended weightless in solution of water and 800 pounds of epsom salts, all physical tensions associated with gravity begin to release into relief. Floating promotes the natural healing process. At skin temperature, the border between the mind and body, body and water; water and air, begin to dissolve...leaving only awareness.

Floating provides a unique meditative space ideal for recognizing states of tranquility and "inner peace".

After speaking with a number of Oceanic Experience Wellness’ clients, we know that this is something that you are going to want to check out…. Sick of being sick? Tired of feeling tired? Read what some happy clients have to say about Oceanic:

“…its absolutely incredible….I never thought I could attain that kind of relaxation and meditation on my own, under my own power, by floating. For me, this is better than any massage.”

“…the fact that such a young man has the understanding of what kinds of healing he is providing to people is outstanding. There is nothing like this offered to people anywhere near here.”

“…I don’t really know how to describe it… it’s like the ultimate in relaxation and stress relief!”

OEW is a wellness collective. In addition to the float tank, the centre also offers services from Sage Earth Acupuncture and services from Jackie Jenson, a reflexologist, reiki master, Tai yoga masseuse and yoga instructor. Give Oceanic Experience Wellness a call, stop by and get well!

www.Trustedsaskatoon.com is growing week on week, and is now the most used and most TRUSTED online directory in Saskatoon.Trusted was created to save people TIME, STRESS and HASSLE when they have a need and don't have anyone in mind... and the side effect of the Saskatoon directory is the promotion of our wonderful Trusted Partners..the Trusted local businesses that are contracted to uphold the Trusted Guarantees and who really do provide outstanding customer service as standard!

People ask us all the time how we find these wonderful businesses....and the answer is simple..they come recommended to us by the public and their customers!!!  We receive nominations daily and we are so grateful that the public takes the time to do this..and they have been VITAL in our search for Saskatoons BEST..our Trusted Partners really are the Saskatoons Consumers choice!

Our latest Trusted Partner is Metric Design Centre and they are featured in the Trusted Saskatoon painter, decoratorating and design category on the directory. Although only a pretty new business in SaskaBOOM, Metric Design Centre have taken the province by storm, as they really do take interior design to the next level! In their first year of business they were recipients of the Sasktoon Chambers Excellence in Business SABEX award for new business and they were also finalists at the prestigious and highly contested Saskatchewan Chamber ABEX Awards for excellence in business- which clearly demonstrates that they run a professional, organized innovative business! Tamara Bowman, the owner of Metric Design Centre,  had a vision of what she wanted, and it wasn't 'just' a design business, but a combination of retail and design which allows her and her talented team the oportunity to showcase their impeccible taste in the deliciously, decadently designed showroom that nestles on the corner of 2nd Ave and 23rd in downtown Saskatoon.

Tamara wanted the store to show rather than tell clients the ideas, as the vast majority of the population have never used a designer and may even be intimidated by the perception of whats involved. Many people believe they are prohibited from using an Interior design company because of the cost, others feel they may be pressured into doing ' what ever the designer wants' and fear them may end up living in a space that doesn't reflect their tastes or needs at all. This stunning store and its facilities allows the Metric Design Centre team to get a deeper understanding of exactly what their clients like- wether it be texture, color or specific style- this means  that someone who is drawn to the retro look definitely won't end up with a stark modern space they hate!

The store houses many World class brands like Neff Kitchens, Kalia Plumbing and Modern Elements fireplaces and is an inspirational space, however they can work with any budget, as Tamara said in a recent interview  " It is our role to help people to understand what is out there for design, I want interior design to be available and accessible to everyone, even if they don't have alot of money to spend. While we showcase sustainable and superior design pieces in our store,  we can do design for any budget!" 

So what did the Metric Design Centre clients have to say when we spoke to them? Well, each and every one was impressed with how EASY the process was, how much they had input into the design because of how great the Metric designers are at listening!

Check out their listing in the Trusted Saskatoon Painter, decorating & design category to read some of their real words for your self.  

Other reviewers online agree ..

Shane Regush from Go Guys said " I love the metric team all so awesome, Tamara has been great to deal with"

Derek Morgan said "Tamara and her team do an awesome job! Don't be afraid to call on them for your interior design and reno needs!"

So, just don't take it from us ....go in and see the store , meet the team and see for yourself why everyone is raving about them- Metric Design are your Trusted Saskatoon Interior Design professionals on THE Saskatoon directory of Excellence...we promote the best ..other directories just list the rest!

The fabulous Metric Design Team

In all of those years, I have never had a problem or an issue with quality, service, or anything else - they treat me very well. If I have a vehicle in the shop, the service department always phones after they have had a look under the hood and they let me know what needs to be looked after immediately, and what I might have to watch out for in the future. They never start anything without my consent. I am very comfortable recommending SMP - over the years I have sent quite a few people down there to shop for a vehicle. SMP is a 10 out of 10."

The Trusted team is proud to welcome MCKercher LLP as the newest additions to the Saskatoon directory and the Regina Directory .

Finding Trusted Saskatoon lawyers has been a tough job for the Trusted team, as the few good independant lawyers that were nominated to us were just too busy and unable to take on the new clients we would be sending their way. We turned our attention to larger law firms, but we knew that they are notoriously difficult to get presentation meetings with. Larger firms tend to have multiple partners who rarely have the time or inclination to meet with ' advertising people'. Most just find it easy to renew their ad that they have always done in Yellow Pages instead, have you noticed all the ads pretty much look the same ... men ( mostly,  but there is the occasional woman these days ) in dark suits!..How do you possibly choose?

Lets tell you why McKercher LLP are your Trusted Saskatoon Law firm and legal services experts

McKercher LLP

Making time to meet with the Trusted team, so we could share the nominations that we had received about them, was a sign that McKercher LLP stands apart from the competition in Saskatchewan. It became clear that they are very forward thinking as a firm and they have an understanding of how the ' person on the street'  really views their profession and that to be Trusted is something to really value! 

In fact, to prove this point, when we posted on our Saskatoon Facebook page that " we have found Trusted lawyers" ..within minutes a fan posted " theres no such thing!"    

McKercher LLP has a mandate to seek out talented, motivated individuals to join their team of legal professionals...and that shows clearly in the caliber of lawyer that you will find to cover ALL aspects of law at the firm! However , lets not forget the amazing and efficient administrative staff that support the lawyers, they really ensure the process runs smoothly,and within good timelines. Together as a team they really do provide the best possible service! This is why they are listed in Best Lawyers International and recognized as a team of legal specialists committed to exceeding the expectations of their clients through the provision of innovative solutions and advice.

They have also recently been voted the no. 1 law firm in Saskatchewan by Canadian Lawyer magazine,- Click here to Read the full Prairie Gold article

McKercher dates back as far as 1926, when Emmett Hall relocated his practice to Saskatoon. With the appointment of Hall to the bench in 1957, the firm was renamed Maguire Wedge McKercher & McKercher, reflecting the addition of Donald and Robert McKercher, who continue to practise with the firm. In 1989, it merged with Regina’s Whitmore & Co., solidifying its presence in the province’s two major cities. The firm assumed its current name in 2008. One survey respondent from the Canadian Lawyer survey said :

" McKercher has gained a positive reputation for its proactive and highly responsive lawyers who give careful, considered, and practical advice within requested time frames, however short those may be.”

Lets face it, just because someone hangs a license on the wall to practice law, doesn't necessarily mean that they are going to be the right attorney for matters that apply to you. Thats why is good to know that the Trusted Saskatoon team have spent time doing some investigating and querying before we endorsed McKercher LLP as the lawyers we trust to represent your interests. We believe that they absolutely value their great reputation and individually they will be honest about what they know and do not know. McKercher LLP lawyers understand it is in their best interest to be up front with their clients because before this time they have most often relied on referrals for new business.

Find Mckercher LLP in the heart of Saskatoons downtown on 3rd avenue South, or see their listing on the Saskatoon directory under Legal & Professional services .

Jacqueline Rybchinski said " I would love to nominate our realtor! We listed our house at the beginning of May. We explained to Scott Dolan that we just recently had a baby and we are growing out of our house. We wanted to move quickly but wanted to be sure we got a fair market value for our house. He was sure to research the market for our area. We listed and had a few viewings all of which Scott made sure we had plenty of time to vacate our house always taking into consideration that we have children to pack up. He was dedicated and understood our urgency to get out of our house making sure to have open houses on the weekend for us. Our house was only listed for 3.5 weeks and we had a great offer come our way! All along the way Scott was very helpful in assisting us to find a home to move onto. He understood what was important to us in a new home. He found quite a few suitable listings for us to look at. In the end he helped assist us in finding what we think is our dream home. I can not begin to explain how thankful we are to have had such an amazing realtor! I think that Scott Dolan should be listed on this website as he is a powerful resource for anyone who is in the market to buy or sell a home!  He went above and beyond to help us with tge sale of our old house and to help us find our new house! I suggested for a friend to use him and she had her house sold in less than a week. Then he called and thanked me for the referral by giving us a referral gift! It was very thoughtful!"
