Built From Real Trade Business Experience

Tradedge was created to help trade business owners avoid the mistakes, stress and uncertainty that so many face, because I’ve been there myself.

I spent over 20 years running a successful trade-based business, navigating everything from pricing pressure and cashflow challenges to staffing, systems, growth and eventually stepping back from day-to-day operations.

Tradedge exists because I know how hard this journey can be, and how much easier it becomes with the right guidance.

Why I Do This Work

Most trade business owners:

  • Are excellent at their trade

  • Work incredibly hard

  • Carry enormous responsibility

But very few are given the tools to:
✔ Understand their numbers
✔ Price with confidence
✔ Build systems
✔ Reduce stress
✔ Create long-term sustainability

I believe tradies deserve better than “winging it”.

My Background

✔ Over 20 years running a trade business
✔ First-hand experience with growth and downsizing
✔ Qualified bookkeeper
✔ Deep understanding of trade business operations
✔ Practical, real-world knowledge — not theory

I don’t coach from textbooks.
I coach from lived experience.

My Approach

My approach is:
✔ Honest
✔ Practical
✔ Straightforward
✔ Tailored to your business
✔ Focused on outcomes

There’s no jargon, no hype, and no judgement — just clear advice based on what works.

A Different Kind of Business Coach

Tradedge isn’t about telling you to “work harder” or “think bigger”.

It’s about:

  • Making smarter decisions

  • Understanding your numbers

  • Building systems that reduce pressure

  • Creating a business that supports your life

Because success isn’t just about profit — it’s about sustainability.
