How we've helped St Austell Handyman
Business overview
Sam Evans and Ruby Crosbie are the co-founders of St Austell Handyman, the first digital quoting and live booking system for local handyman services in Cornwall.
Locals can visit the company website and book a range of services in three simple steps. Customers can choose their time slot, book services directly through the website and schedule for a time that suits them.
The idea behind St Austell Handyman was to create reliable, trustworthy handyman services in and around St Austell. Predominantly focussed on smaller jobs but have recently added painting and decorating services. Repairs and minor renovations can also be done—but with a personalised touch.
Sam and Ruby turned to The Growth Hub for support in expanding their business and enhancing their professionalism.
I would definitely recommend The Growth Hub to other local businesses because they offer you personal, practical, specialised help for exactly what you’re looking for.
How we helped
The Growth Hub connected them with Unlocking Potential, which provided valuable training in finance, sales, and marketing.
Sam, Co-founder, said: “Handyman services are all about the customer at the end of the day. You want to be the person that turns up and gives them a high quality service, and the only way we’ve been able to do that is really focus on using the latest technology."
Support and signposting from The Growth Hub have had a huge impact on the way the St Austell Handyman now operates and can apply to future growth.
Sam added: “Since being in contact with The Growth Hub, all we’ve seen is growth because without the knowledge and understanding of what we’ve learned through them, I think we’d still be where we were.
"Almost every time, I’ve done something new with every single course that we’ve done, and that’s why I think they’re invaluable really.”
Sam said: “It’s easy to get in contact with them and you’re given very practical help straightaway. I think The Growth Hub will be something that we keep in mind whenever we have a fork in the road so to say. I would definitely recommend The Growth Hub to other local businesses because they offer you personal, practical, specialised help for exactly what you’re looking for.”
