From £223k to £1.3m in five years: Jordan's story

Jordan

Videtta Heating & Plumbing

In 2020, Jordan ran Videtta Heating on his own. Turnover was £223k, he did every job himself, and he worked most weekends. The work was good and word of mouth was steady.

Jordan now leads a real business, with multiple vans, a team, and the choice of which work to take. He has moved from running every job to leading the company, and built something with real, sellable value.

"In that time their skills and expertise in marketing have seen us massively increase our leads, and as a result has increased our revenue, enabling us to take on more engineers."
