While our roots are in supporting the construction and trades sector, today we work with small and medium-sized businesses across a wide range of industries, providing the tools, strategies, systems, and support needed to scale successfully.

Through industry-leading coaching, training, consultancy, recruitment, marketing, technology solutions, and business support services, we help thousands of entrepreneurs and business owners accelerate growth and overcome the challenges that come with scaling a business.

Contribute to strategic planning and operational decision-making.

Play a key role in building the UK's leading ecosystem of services for trade business owners.

What We're Looking For

Proven experience in a senior Service Delivery, Operations, Customer Success, or Client Services leadership role.

Strong experience managing multiple service functions or business units.

Demonstrated success in creating scalable operational processes and improving performance.

Excellent leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills.

Commercially aware with a strong understanding of client retention and service profitability.

Data-driven mindset with the ability to analyse performance metrics and implement improvements.

Experience with CRM systems, project management platforms, customer success tools, and automation software.

Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.

Experience within business consultancy, marketing agencies, recruitment, coaching, education, or construction sectors would be advantageous.
