James Dewane
I have been in the Electrical Industry for just over 25 years, having served my apprenticeship in a small family firm in Ireland. Whilst I had a great career as an Electrician it was not without its ups and downs. In 2007 I had a thriving company, nine staff, three vans, a car and a shop front – only to find myself on the brink of personal bankruptcy because two developers I was working with went out of business owing me a lot of money and although I appeared to have a great turnover the business was not profitable, so I could not recover from their failure. I had no choice but to start again. I discovered that the Domestic sector was a virtually untapped market because most people in the trades believed it difficult to get work. I knew I had to put a stake in the ground and build a local business based on the domestic market.
became the ‘go-to’ electrician in a small local area.
I have now retired from the tools and spend my time teaching and mentoring fellow Electricians about. It still surprises me that at no point during your trade training for any of the trades do you learn about getting and keeping customers and yet without them you can’t have a business.
