A year ago, Kev Jones was running himself into the ground. As the owner of Kev Jones Heating in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, he worked six days a week, barely earning £20,000 a year. He knew something had to change. The long hours, constant stress, and lack of direction were unsustainable. If he wanted a real business instead of just a job, he needed a plan.
That’s when he discovered Trade Mastermind.
From the moment he joined, everything changed. He learned what it really takes to scale a trade business. It wasn’t just about working harder, but implementing structured processes, professional branding, strategic hiring and more. Jones saw a dramatic rise in sales, going from five boilers in his first month to eight in the second and nine in the third. By last month, he had closed 29 sales, an impressive jump from just five heating units.
The transformation wasn’t just about revenue; it was about building a sustainable business. With the guidance of Trade Mastermind, Kev stopped relying on guesswork. He introduced clear systems, started tracking key metrics and invested in lead generation. For the first time, he wasn’t just hoping for sales, he had a predictable pipeline bringing in consistent business.
One of the biggest shifts was moving from a one-man band to a professional operation. Kev hired engineers, branded his fleet, and created a company that could run without him being on-site every day. Today Kev talks about how his operations manager, Paul, takes over key tasks, allowing him to focus on long-term growth strategies and other productive aspects of the business instead of daily firefighting.
The results were life-changing. His annual income surged from £80,000 to significantly higher figures, giving him financial freedom he never thought possible. But beyond the money, it was the lifestyle change that mattered most. He no longer had to sacrifice personal time just to keep the business afloat. Instead, he had a company that worked for him, not the other way around.
Looking back, Kev knows the decision to join Trade Mastermind was the turning point. The blueprint was there, he just had to follow it. Now, his business is thriving, and he has the time and resources to support his family when they need him most.
For any trade business owner feeling stuck, Kev has one piece of advice: take action. Trade Mastermind gave him the tools to succeed, and it can do the same for anyone ready to make a change.
