Our Story

Built for UK businesses. Driven by real results.

Since 2012, CallEaseUK·Connect has been on a single mission — to make it effortless for local businesses to get discovered and for customers to find exactly who they need.

Every UK business deserves a fair shot at being found online — regardless of size or budget.

Who We Are

A directory built on a belief

CallEaseUK·Connect was founded in Newcastle upon Tyne by Bhavik G Mehta & James R. Holbrook after watching countless great local businesses struggle to compete online against larger brands with bigger budgets.

The idea was simple: create a free, powerful, and easy-to-use UK business directory that genuinely levels the playing field. One where a sole trader in Sheffield gets the same quality of listing as a company headquartered in London.

Today, over 85,000 UK businesses trust us to connect them with customers who are actively looking — and we're growing every single day.

What We Stand For

Our values

Everything we build and every decision we make is guided by four core principles.

People First

We put both businesses and customers at the centre of every feature we build. If it doesn't help real people, we don't build it.

Radical Transparency

No hidden fees, no misleading promises. What you see is what you get — a free listing that genuinely works.

Local Expertise

We understand the UK market — from city centres to rural communities. Our tools are tailored to the way local business actually works.

Constant Growth

We're always improving. We listen to our business owners and customers to build a smarter, more effective directory.
