Background of Business
J.C.Fencing and Decking, of Wyke, has been trading for almost four years. The business was formed by Jason Rider, a Wyke resident. Keen to grow his business, Jason has received business support from Sajid Hussain, a Kickstart Business Counsellor attached to Accent Community Partnerships. This has enabled the company to gain accreditation and contracts.
Support Journey
Jason recognised that although he had the ability and experience to providing fencing and decking services, to both residential and commercial clients, he needed advice on management issues. He also wanted to target major local authorities as prospective clients and knew that would require official accreditation. Sajid introduced Jason to a specialist adviser who helped him to draw up a health and safety policy - a vital pre-requisite to winning work from local councils. He also advised him on how to register for VAT and helped him to sharpen his new business pitching technique.
Where are they now
With VAT registration, a Health and Safety policy and all the necessary insurance protection, Jason was in a much stronger position to seek contracts from local councils and from housing associations. As a result, he has already gained accreditation and contracts from the Bradford-based Accent Group, a major social housing provider, as well as from Leeds City Council and Wakefield District Council.
