Clive started off the week by discussing cowboy customers. Danny Madden and John Cruickshank joined him in the studio and shared some of their stories.

Then he focused on making our industry more sustainable. Clive asked if the industry is doing enough to reduce the amount of waste material by recycling. Professor Kay, a regular long time listener who brought the topic to his attention, gave her thoughts along with Daniel Foster, Sustainability Coordinator at Screwfix. We also heard a snippet from the legendary Tommy Walsh. Stay tuned for a special podcast with him in the near future.

Then Clive looked at how trades people can upskill in both work and finances despite maybe having time and financial constraints. Jamie Crane from Ironmongery Direct and award winning Business Coach, Alison Warner provided the details.

And to round things off Clive asked who is the most improved person you work with onsite. And if you're a sole trader, what have you improved on ? He heard some brilliant stories from brickies James Naughton and Sam Whittaker and carpenter Dave Finnegan. They have future stars in the making !
