From demolition labourer to a £3M construction company — meet the mentor behind BizMentor
Craftex was built from zero — no investors, no connections, no safety net. BizMentor exists to help serious construction professionals build companies with structure, margins and control — not chaos.
Why this mentorship exists
Working on site as a demolition labourer. Long days, low pay, no direction.
A skilled carpenter showed me what higher standards looked like. My income went up and my confidence changed.
A business owner who structured projects — contracts, margins, positioning — showed me how companies really work. I stopped thinking like a tradesman and started building a company.
Built from scratch into a premium main contractor: structured contracts, protected margins, controlled cash flow and professional delivery. 150+ residential and commercial projects across London and the UK, with contracts exceeding £2.5M.
Every big jump in my life came from someone ahead of me sharing insight. The fastest way to scale impact in construction isn’t taking more jobs — it’s helping serious builders compress the timeline.
Not a coaching brand built on slides
BizMentor is an extension of an operating construction company. Everything we teach is installed and proven inside Craftex:
- Premium positioning as a main contractor
- Contract protection and negotiation
- Margin control systems targeting 25–40%
- Cash flow structure and project management frameworks
- Procurement leverage, team and subcontractor control
We don’t teach information. We install structure.
