Am I the Best Business Coach for UK Trades? You Decide.
Short answer: I believe I am. Long answer: I’m biased, so let me show you the evidence and you can make your own call.
The Scoreboard (Real-World Results)
My clients don’t “pay” for coaching they invest. The returns have consistently outweighed the fees, with some seeing up to 4,000% ROI (yes, 40x). More leads, stronger margins, cleaner ops, better teams, and owners who finally get their evenings back. That’s the point.
I built, scaled, and sold my own driveway/landscaping company for nearly £1m. I didn’t learn this from a textbook; I lived it.
Why Construction & Trades Need a Different Playbook
If you’ve run a trade business, you know this isn’t corporate theory:
-
Recruitment is tough (and retention is tougher).
-
Late payers are real—Tesco doesn’t get ghosted on invoices.
-
Delivery matters: right first time, on time, on budget.
-
Supply chain slips can wipe out your margin and reputation.
-
Cashflow can swing wildly week to week.
Generic coaching doesn’t touch these problems. I do—because I’ve had to fix them myself under real pressure, with my own money and name on the line.
What Makes Me Different
-
Built, not borrowed. I started with no experience and no cash—just a £57 leaflet drop—and grew it into a market leader before exiting. Everything I teach has been battle-tested.
-
Trade-specific systems. Pricing frameworks, project delivery controls, recruitment pipelines, cashflow habits, QS-style job costing, client journey mapping—the unsexy stuff that protects profit.
-
No fluff. Clear actions, tracked weekly. If it doesn’t move the needle, it’s gone.
-
End-to-end support. From website and lead gen to quoting, selling, delivering, invoicing, and aftercare—I help you build a business, not a stressful job.
What I’m Not (and Why That Matters)
-
I’m not a corporate trainer rewording slides for “the trades.”
-
I’m not recycling generic frameworks that ignore materials, weather, site delays, snags, or retention.
-
I’m not here to hype you up for a week and disappear. We implement, measure, and iterate.
(Side note: you’d be surprised how many “trade coaches” have never built or sold a trade business, or outsource their program to employees who’ve never set foot on a site.)

Anyone hunting for a magic lead tap while underpricing and over-promising.
-
Business owners who won’t track numbers or implement basic controls.
-
Folks who want results without changing how they work.
