  • Love the concept but need better audio

    Alright boys, love the theme and content in the show but listened to it in the van and sounded like I was on the blower the whole time. Really love the work guys but if we could sharpen up that audio, on to a winner 👍🏼

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Gas Engineers vs Air Con Engineers: Should Plumbers Be Moving Into AC? | Off The Job Podcast
Q: How do you foresee the future then of, sort of got two questions. One question floating in my head is, because you've done like renewables, gas, aircon, if someone was coming into the trade, what one would you recommend? Like what would you say is the future?
John Cruickshank expects heating, cooling, ventilation, air conditioning and plumbing to converge into a broader trade. He sees renewables as a useful foundation because they connect plumbing and HVAC skills.
Gas Engineers vs Air Con Engineers: Should Plumbers Be Moving Into AC? | Off The Job Podcast
Q: When they say they can do it in five days, is it doable in five days? Or would you say, I think they need a little bit more experience?
Tom Milham says plumbing and heating skills transfer well to HVAC, but F-Gas training mainly establishes competence to handle refrigerant and does not teach the full practical work. John Cruickshank adds that passing the course does not make someone confident or experienced across every system.
He Built A £1.5M Trade Business From One Niche! | Richard Pearson from London Basement Pumps
Q: What changed when you started emphasizing service contracts?
We moved from chasing every job to offering service level agreements, annual servicing, and a reduced call-out rate. This created a more predictable revenue stream and a 'customer for life' ethos, which increased client loyalty and EBITDA.
He Built A £1.5M Trade Business From One Niche! | Richard Pearson from London Basement Pumps
Q: How did the transition from solo tradesman to a structured business happen?
It began after I learned the business side from a friend who joined as a partner, helped with investments like vans, and brought corporate know-how. We shifted from a one-man band to a service-focused model with contracts, an expanded team, and a strong emphasis on quality and reliability.
He Started Decorating At 30... Now Brands Pay Him To Promote Their Products | Kevin Brown as The Prestige Painter
Q: How old were you when you shifted into painting?
He was 30 years old at the time, which felt late but became a turning point as he used his marketing background to build the business.
