About LocalWins

Built for our own calls.Now built for yours.

LocalWins started as a fix for missed calls in Paul Airey's own businesses. Now it gives UK trades a number that texts every missed caller back in seconds, in their name, and keeps the customer long after the call.

The front desk of a gym at closing time, the phone ringing with nobody there to answer it
Why it exists

It started with a phonenobody could answer.

Paul Airey runs a property business in Hampshire and a 2,000-member gym in Hoddesdon. Across both, too many calls were going unanswered. The people ringing did not leave messages. They rang someone else.

So he built a number that texts every missed caller straight back, in the business's name, and finds out what they wanted. It worked. Calls that used to disappear turned into bookings.

Three brothers.Three trades.

Paul's brothers are a plumber, an electrician and a builder. They spend the day on roofs, under sinks and in lofts, with the phone in the van. They started using it on their own lines, and every part of LocalWins has been shaped by what a trade actually needs from it.

What we believe

Four things we stand by.

A text beats a robot

People would rather reply in their own time than talk to a machine. So the call rings out as normal and the text arrives in seconds, in your name. Voice is there for the landline callers a text cannot reach.

Nothing per lead, ever

One flat price after 30 days free. No credits, no setup fee, no contract. Your customers and your list stay yours.

A person, not a ticket

Every new customer is set up personally, on the phone, by the founder. You are not handed an app and left to work it out.

Only say what is true

Every feature on this site is live today, and the numbers are counted from real customers. When something is coming, we say it is coming.

For journalists

LocalWins in brief.

LocalWins gives UK tradespeople and local businesses their own phone number that texts every missed caller back within seconds, in the business's own name. An AI holds the conversation by text, takes the job, the postcode and how urgent it is, and sends the owner a summary to ring back. The same number asks happy customers for Google reviews, reminds them when a service is due again, follows up past enquiries and finds new work near the business every morning. LocalWins is free for 30 days, then £99 a month. It is run by LocalWins Ltd, a UK company founded by Paul Airey in 2026.

Free to use in full or in part. For interviews, customer introductions or photographs, email hello@localwins.co.uk or ring 0330 043 3007.

How the live numbers are counted
  • Missed calls caught: every call from a real caller that reached a customer's LocalWins number, which is where calls go when the business cannot answer. Calls from the owner, our own lines, spam and known contacts are left out.
  • Texts sent back: texts to callers only, never alerts to the owner.
  • Jobs captured: callers saved to the business's lead list, ready to ring back. Spam, known contacts and imported lists are left out.
  • Time to the first text: the middle value, for calls in the last 30 days, from the call coming in to the first text reaching that caller.
  • Test accounts, our own accounts and deleted accounts are excluded. Figures refresh every ten minutes and nothing identifies a customer or caller.
