You run the business. You don’t sell to it.
This is for you if you run, or help run, an established UK contractor, fit-out, M&E or specialist contractor, housebuilder or developer, QS or cost consultancy, building surveyor or project manager, or one of the manufacturers, merchants and hire companies that supply them.
Bring the honest version: what the margin really is, what still leans on a handful of key people, what went wrong and what you’d do differently.
If you sell to these companies rather than run one, this isn’t the series for you. Every guest runs the business they are talking about.
The six questions you answer in writing
Answer as much or as little as you like. They come up one at a time when you press Be a guest.
- What does your company do, and where do you want it to be in five years?
- Where is your business losing money?
- What still leans on a handful of key people, and what would change if it didn't?
- What have you tried to fix that didn't work, and why?
- Where has technology, including AI, actually earned its place?
- What would you tell an owner a few years behind you?
