From One-Man Band to £1.2M Pipeline: How UK Growth Coach Helped This Builder Scale with Confidence

Small Business Coaching That Starts with the Basics

Callum’s business specialises in high-end property refurbishments, bespoke joinery, landscaping, and extensions. But back in the early days, it was just him and one subcontractor.

We had no office, no direction, and no company vehicles, Callum explains. There were only a few weeks’ worth of work in the pipeline.We had no office, no direction, and no company vehicles, Callum explains. There were only a few weeks’ worth of work in the pipeline.

The potential was there, but the structure and strategy weren’t.

That’s where UK Growth Coach stepped in. Callum began working with one of their professional business coaches to get clarity on his goals and start building the systems needed for sustainable growth.

Franchise Coaching That Focuses on Culture, Systems, and Strategy

From the start, the focus was on the fundamentals: culture, direction, marketing, branding, sales, and finance. But what made the biggest difference, according to Callum, was how practical and tailored the support was.

We worked on how we recruit, onboard, and support staff to make sure we’ve got the right people in the right roles, following the same values.

Performance reviews, finance systems, and accountability tools soon followed. Bit by bit, the business took shape—and started to grow fast.

£1.2 Million Pipeline: Real Growth Through Business Coaching

Today, CS Creative Spaces is a different operation altogether. The team has grown to eight, the company now operates from proper offices, and the vehicles are sign-written and out on the road.

Originally, our projects were small, around £105,000. We’ve just signed off our biggest one yet, at £230,000.

It’s not just the project size that’s grown. In year one, Callum had around £50,000 of work in the pipeline. Today, that pipeline sits at over £1.2 million, and continues to grow.

A Business Coaching Relationship That Evolves With You

What started as a learning curve soon became a real partnership. At the beginning, coaching was about building knowledge and staying accountable. Now, it’s focused on strategic growth and bigger-picture thinking.

“The relationship has changed a lot. Now it’s about support and learning how to grow and develop the business.”

Callum’s time is no longer consumed by daily firefighting. He spends less time in the business and more time on it, looking ahead, planning for growth, and leading with confidence.

SME Coaching That Delivers Real Impact

Callum’s story is a clear example of what’s possible when ambition meets the right support. UK Growth Coach didn’t just help build a business; they helped build a structure for success, and gave a business owner the tools and confidence to scale on his terms.
