A variety of trades, so diverse (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

assorted

'diverse' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'a variety of trades so' is the wordplay.
'a variety of' is an anagram indicator.
'trades'+'so'='tradesso'
'tradesso' is an anagram of 'ASSORTED'.

(Other definitions for assorted that I've seen before include "Manifold" , "Miscellaneous, sundry" , "Various, diverse" , "Rod's seat (anag)" , "Mixed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
