Writing Journey blog posts is beginning to feel more like for a travel brochure than writing about the Trade industry.
Meadowcroft Limited is based in Guernsey in the UK. They're a building services company that has been in business for more than 50 years. We caught up with owner and Managing Director Paul Meadowcroft to discuss how simPRO Enterprise has helped him become the first paperless contractor in the Channel Islands and his plans to become the local industry leader.
This Journey is somewhat special for us here at simPRO. Andrew and Prue of Mr A Electrics joined us wayyy back in 2002. In fact, they were the fourth company to begin using Enterprise (back before it was even known by that name). So while we were busy building software to systemise business processes, they were busy systemising.
Meet Dan. Dan started his electrical business D&B Electrical Services five years ago from his own home and gradually grew the business to include a full-time technician, an administration person, and various sub-contractors when needed.
Remember Adam Bell?
The first milestone in Adam's journey was being able to leave the office for a fishing trip and know that everything was taken care of back in the office. If something had been missed, he knew he could track what happened.
It was two years ago when Boz sat down with his wife and mapped out their dreams. They soon realised that if their two girls were to attend a nice school, if they were to own a house, two cars and travel annually the business needed to grow.
Meet Adam Bell. Adam bought his plumbing business from his father. He’s seen both the benefit of hard work and the drawback of the old way of doing things.
Meet Paul Christie, owner of Casalite Electrics. Paul is a prime example of an astute business owner always open to new ideas. Through simple processes and the introduction of new technologies, he's developed both a successful business model and a flexible lifestyle.
Matt’s journey has just begun. Staff are trained, Enterprise is embedded in the business, the systems are in place. Next? Grow the business, nationwide.
