Office of Fair Trading

Our job is to make sure that consumers have as much choice as possible across all the different sectors of the marketplace. When consumers have choice they have genuine and enduring power.

As an independent professional organisation, the OFT plays a leading role in promoting and protecting consumer interests throughout the UK, while ensuring that businesses are fair and competitive. Our tools to carry out this work are the powers granted to the OFT under consumer and competition legislation.

We have three main operational areas - Competition Enforcement, Consumer Regulation Enforcement, Markets and policies initiatives. Click here if you would like to speak to someone within the three main divisions, or here if you want to speak to someone in the OFT about a particular subject.
