What We Need You to Do We need deep , actionable advice and hands‑on strategy. Key tasks include (but are not limited to): * Audit all costs and expenses (materials, van running, insurance, utility bills, tools, banking fees, software, premises, subcontractors etc.) and show where savings can be made without compromising quality * Analyse staff structure: employed vs self‑employed, wage levels, productivity, utilisation, scheduling * Review pricing, job costings, profit margins for each job type; propose adjusted pricing or service bundles * Improve operational workflows: job scheduling, routing, travel minimisation, parts logistics, inventory management * Recommend and/or implement software, hardware, systems (job management, invoicing, CRM, quoting, mobile tools) to reduce admin overhead & delays * Cash flow forecasting, budgeting, financial modelling so we know where money goes, where to invest, when to hire/expand etc. * Identify strategic investments (vans, tools, training, marketing) — timing, ROI, trade‑offs * Suggest cost‑efficient banking, insurance, and supplier strategies * Ensure compliance with UK employment law, tax, pension, insurance, self‑employment rules — advise what is legal and optimal * Propose marketing / customer retention / recurring revenue strategies (maintenance contracts, upsells, referrals, partnerships) * Provide deliverables: written report, implementation plan, KPIs / dashboards, recommended timeline
What We Expect from You Required skills & experience: * At least 5 years consulting experience (preferably with trades / plumbing / mechanical / construction businesses) * Strong financial modelling and data analytics ability * Deep understanding of UK employment law, tax rules (especially for subcontractors vs employees), pensions, and compliance * Experience recommending and implementing software & systems in field / trade businesses * Familiarity (or willingness to learn) plumbing / heating / service industry dynamics * Excellent communication skills, ability to explain complex financials simply * Experience delivering actionable, implementable strategy (not just theory) Deliverables & format: * Cost / expense audit with identified savings * Actionable plan (short, medium, long term) with priorities * Suggested software / system stack + cost vs benefit * Cashflow / profit forecasting model * Implementation support (mentoring / oversight) is a plus
Application Requirements When you apply, please include: 1. Your relevant experience (especially with trades / plumbing / service businesses) 2. Case studies / examples of business transformation you've done before (with numbers) 3. Your proposed approach / methodology — how you’d start, what you'd deliver first, etc
