Robin Clevett is joined by Tony Carroll, who shares his experiences of starting a building company and offers tips on how to grow a trade business successfully. Third-generation carpenter Tony offers many aspects of building services. After moving to London as the construction sector boomed, Tony started a building company. "I saw an opportunity and grabbed it. My confidence grew as I worked on small projects, such as shop fittings, extensions, and loft conversions. Putting a team together and being able to manage them is also a skill I learned." Tony offers tips for those looking to expand their business or start a building company. "Upskill yourself, there's always something new to be learned. Every day is a school day. "There are plenty of YouTube videos, podcasts, new tools coming out, innovative products and materials coming in the market, trade shows, and trade magazines to gain information from."
