The image of the Professional DJ has always been a stumbling block for operators who want to run their business successfully.  The public will always have memories of poor quality tradesmen from all industries and the humble Mobile DJ can quite easily get stereotyped or categorised.

  Purveying a sense of professionalism to customers can be very hit and miss.  Some enquirers think that all DJs are the same and that the quality of service they receive is always going to be of the same standard.

  It is for this very reason that service providers across the UK have been trying to reinforce the idea that not all tradesmen are the same.  It would be great to have a charter mark or qualification that potential customers can use as a reference point to help them hire the right person for their needs.

  Mark Porley, NADJ Chairman, said: "This is a new dawn for the NADJ and it is a natural progression for the organisation to move to a more commercial payment system.

  "PayPal served its purpose, but the NADJ needs to move on and the facilities through RBS WorldPay allow us to do just that."
