Hi Everyone,
I’m looking for a plumber/gas engineer to partner with in order to run and grow a plumbing & heating firm in London. My background is in operations with a tech bias and have worked in numerous industries including engineering and plumbing & heating.
I’ve actually run a plumbing business before but unfortunately, it came to an end due to personal circumstances. I was able to apply a lot of principles from my career and bring a lot to the table with the eyes of an outsider. It was a great experience and I’d keen to mirror some of the successes and build from lessons learned. My main driver here is simply that I find this type of business really stimulating and I’m focused on being self employed again.

One thing I’m really keen on is building towards a profitable exit strategy. A lot of trade businesses are so closely tied to an individual that it can be almost impossible to sell on. Conversely, a business with a strong brand, extremely well defined processes and evidence of growth make for an attractive proposition.
You are ideally one of the following;
