FieldClients is owned by the publisher of Trades Shortlist. It is labelled on every page where it appears, carries no badge, and gets no bonus in the shortlist. Details on the methodology page.
How this list is built. Every listing names restoration or all trades as a market and sits in the lead marketplace category. Order is editor's pick, then explicit trade coverage, then a published price, then name. Nobody pays to appear or to rank. The publisher's own product is labelled and gets no adjustment. Full methodology.
