CEO MONTHLY / ISSUE 2 2024 11 Booking a Builder Just Got Better Propelled by a mission to ensure that homeowners have the best possible experience when seeking out a tradesperson, be it for trade, material, or product requirements, Book a Builder is the UK’s leading home improvements platform. With an uncontested response time to job posts – the fastest in the industry as a whole – and volume of trades that is has registered, the company had earned immense amounts of success. From being the first and only platform to form strategic partnerships with home improvement retailers, to delivering a service that’s free to use for both homeowners and tradespeople, Book a Builder has managed to set all new records across the market. Partnered with the fact that it is the first platform to achieve over 90,000 tradespeople on a single platform in the UK, in addition to it being the first to market with an end to end Escrow solution, the collective has proven it’s commitment to innovation. And yet, one can’t help but wonder just how this came to be. In 2014, Book a Builder was founded by Bradley Jarvis, a man who was inspired to make the lives of homeowners and tradespeople infinitely easier. As both a former tradesperson and marketeer himself, Bradley had plenty of experience that he could bring to the table. In turn, Book a Builder quickly became quite the notable collective. However, it’s nearly impossible to achieve such a feat on your own, and Bradley is acutely aware of the part that his team has consistently played in the company’s overarching success. As such, Bradley treats his team with a staggering level of respect. Having a close knit family culture – one that consists primarily of families and friends with relationships spanning over fifteen years – Book a Builder represents the collective effort of each individual who helped to turn it into the brilliant platform that it is today. Truly, Bradley believes in uplifting his fellow colleagues, and even once offered his home to a coworker in need when they ran into troubles that rendered them homeless. During this time, not only did Bradley provide them with a place to stay whilst they got back on their feet, but he also utilised Book a Builder to help them rebuild their finances. This example perfectly showcases the individual love that Bradley holds for each person under the company’s umbrella – without them, the platform may never have reached the levels of success it finds itself at today. We believe it’s best to turn our attention to one of Book a Builder’s team members to gain a further understanding of the environment that Bradley has cultivated - “I am really enjoying my time working for Book a Builder UK. It’s the only place I’ve worked where you are spoken to and treated like an adult, and the only place I have worked where my opinion is valued. All the staff are great to work alongside, and the managers are all so nice. The CEO is friendly too - he actually stops to talk to you about your life outside of work and have a good conversation. The training was thorough and covered everything, not just the things the trainer thinks you need to know. All in all, a great place to work!” Bradley Jarvis and his team are a perfect example of how, through an incredible sense of mutual respect, a collective is able to continuously thrive, no matter the challenges that may arise. So, we believe it’s only fitting to award Bradley, Book a Builder, and its extensive group of talented individuals the title of Home Improvements Marketplace CEO of the Year 2023 – London.
