Business Coach for Trades & Home Services
Stop Working In Your Business. Start Owning It.
You’re a specialist tradesperson or home-service owner who’s built something real. Yet the business still owns your time, energy, and too much of your profit.
Fix quiet profit leaks, increase profit, and free up your time to lead the business instead of carrying every job yourself.

The reality for many owners
Does This Sound Familiar?
You are good at the work. But the business feels inconsistent, demanding, and harder to control than it should.
Work comes in fits and starts
Clients ghost you after the quote and the diary is unpredictable.
Good people are hard to find
You can't trust your team to maintain quality when you're not there.
You're chasing payments
Too much money is sitting out on the street while cashflow gets tight.
There aren't enough hours
You're on the tools at 6am and still quoting and invoicing at 9pm.
The experience behind the coaching
About Me
I started delivering newspapers at 15 and started my first business at 20. I built that business over 27 years, growing a multi-service company with 25 employees.
I managed multiple teams, vans and office staff, and worked on home-services and civil-engineering projects. I understand the daily pressure of balancing jobs, clients, staff, cashflow, and the work that still needs doing at the end of the day.
There came a point when I had to ask myself: “Do I own this business, or does the business own me?”
After an accident in 2010, I had to change my approach. I began working on the business rather than only in it. That change helped the company grow by almost 300%.
“I will work as hard as I have to, so that I can eventually do as little as possible.”

Practical support, not theory
Why Bother With a Business Coach?
When you are busy delivering work, it is difficult to step back and see what is quietly costing you time, profit, and momentum.
Advertising may be bringing in the wrong enquiries. Quotes may not be converting. Staffing can feel like a constant challenge. Cashflow can be tight while payment sits unpaid. Long working hours become normal because every decision and every job still comes back to you.
A business coach gives you space to look at the business properly, identify what needs attention, and put practical improvements in place.

A straightforward framework
Circle of Business
The coaching framework consists of three stages.
01
Stage 1
Get the Basics Working Harder
Focus on marketing, sales, and services. Make small changes, build practical systems, and create better results from the fundamentals already in your business.
02
Stage 2
People, Processes & Profit
Strengthen your team, processes, and numbers. Use the 80/20 principle to identify high-value work and build repeatable systems around it.
03
Stage 3
From Technician to Business Owner
Build on day-to-day improvements, move away from being the main technician, and spend more time working on the business as its owner.
Choose the right level of support
Coaching Packages
Every package follows the same three clear stages. The difference is how much support and time you are prepared to invest in.
