Helping Skilled Tradespeople Build Better Businesses
For James Davis, owner of JWD Heating & Plumbing, building Handy Ants wasn’t about creating another franchise, it was about solving one of the biggest problems faced by skilled tradespeople: running a successful business while still finding the time to do the work they love.
After years working in the industry, including time with British Gas before making the decision to build his own business, James experienced first-hand just how much time and energy is consumed by the responsibilities that come with business ownership. From tax, payroll and compliance to software, administration and day-to-day management, many skilled tradespeople find themselves spending almost as much time running the business as they do carrying out their trade.
That’s where Handy Ants is different.
Recognising the challenges faced by skilled tradespeople, James partnered with experienced business professionals to create Handy Ants, a Business Growth Partnership built to help trades businesses succeed.
By providing professional business compliance services, company formation, business systems, operational support and ongoing business guidance, Handy Ants enables skilled tradespeople to focus on what they do best, delivering outstanding work for their customers, while knowing the business is being professionally supported in the background.
The long-term ambition is to become the UK’s leading Business Growth Partnership for skilled tradespeople, helping business owners launch, grow and scale with the confidence that they have an experienced team supporting them every step of the way.
Handy Ants doesn’t just teach people how to run a business. It helps run the business, so they can get on with the work.
