WHO IT'S FOR
Trades That Win is not for everyone. It's built for a specific kind of trades business owner — and that's exactly what makes it work.
THE RIGHT PERSON
We are especially looking for people who own or run the business:
Sole trader running their own business
Founder of a small trades firm
Owner-operator who does the work and runs the business
Director of a small trades company (up to 20 people)
Someone actively building a trades business, not just doing a job
THE KEY QUESTION
Are you the person who owns or runs the business — and are you serious about making it better? If yes, you're the right person. If you're an employee hoping someone else will take on the cost or the commitment, this isn't the right fit right now.
THE TRADES WE SERVE
If you're in a skilled trade and you run or own your business, there's likely a place for you here.
YOU'RE A GOOD FIT IF...
You are good at the actual work — but you know the business side needs attention
You want to win better quality jobs, not just more of the same
You're serious about building a proper business, not just staying busy
You're willing to invest time and effort in getting better at the commercial side
You value honest, practical support over motivation and theory
You can commit to attending sessions regularly — not just when it's convenient
You are local to Preston or serve the Preston area
THIS IS NOT FOR YOU IF...
Employees looking for work or new job opportunities
Tradespeople who want referrals handed to them each week
People looking for casual networking or a social circle
Anyone who thinks good work sells itself and doesn't need improving
Those not willing to be honest about where their business needs to change
People looking for a cheap shortcut rather than real business development
Anyone who wants to build a big referral network rather than a better business
