#4 - Should I Stay or Should I Grow? Interview with Alastair Kemp
Show Notes

Deciding whether to take the plunge and grow or stay the same size is a perennial problem for many business owners. In this episode, Alastair Kemp talks about how he went from being a London police officer to opening up a successful chimney sweeping business in Wiltshire, and his thoughts on the benefits and potential pitfalls of expansion.

Trade Entrepreneur is hosted by David Sudworth, owner and founder of Mr Soot Chimney Sweep. 

Based in the North West of England, David started his company as a one-man band. It’s now one of the fastest growing chimney sweeping, inspecting and testing companies in the UK.

In Trade Entrepreneur, David and his guests will talk about all things business, particularly related to trades and blue collar work. 

He’ll also share his knowledge of marketing, PR and communication which has made Mr Soot Chimney Sweep one of the country’s most recognisable sweeping companies.
