When Is The Right Time To Expand Your Business?

The Clive Holland Show

Monday, 12 May 2025 - 35 minutes

Hiring your first member of staff is a massive step for any small business, and today we talked to two tradespeople who’ve been through it. We were joined by John Argyle, a carpenter from Enfield Refurbishments, who shared his experience of making that first hire and the challenges he faced, and by Robert "Pointy" Clarke from PPH Pointy Plumbing & Heating, a Fix Radio regular, who gave us his tips on finding the right person and managing those early days of building a team. Plus, we had the Pub Lunch Quiz and loads of your messages from site. Enjoy!
