Our Founders
Our Founders Statement.
Tradesconnect was founded with a shared belief that the construction industry needs a stronger, more connected pathway for its future workforce. Our founders bring together experience from across construction, education, technology—and crucially, the supplier sector.
By involving suppliers industry experts as founding partners, Tradesconnect has been built with real-world industry insight from the very beginning. This ensures the platform not only connects tradespeople, students, and employers, but also strengthens the vital relationships with suppliers who keep the industry moving.
Together, our founders are committed to driving Tradesconnect forward to become the UK’s go-to platform for construction—supporting today’s trades, inspiring tomorrow’s workforce, and creating a stronger, more collaborative industry for all.
