About this episode

Greg Wilkes shares his journey and methods for succeeding in the UK construction sector.

Greg Wilkes has seen the highs and lows of running a small business in the UK construction sector. From being talked into staying with his apprenticeship by his father as a young carpenter, to success, failed partnerships, and success again, he began to make it a point to note down everything he did that worked, and everything that did not. Now with a seven-step program, that in keeping with the best traditions of the sector he has decided to streamline to five, Greg is training builders and other trades to scale their businesses, swim in the same waters as contract sharks without getting eaten, and make a success in a sector that can demand so much from entrepreneurs. This episode tells his story, and his method.
