Proud Ambassadors
Specialist Mentoring or Monthly GROW Coaching for UK MEP, HVAC, Fire & Security Commercial Contractor Owners
Good business.
Same year, on repeat.
Success is Personal
Your goals. Your pace. Your plan.
We build around you.
Your “In The Business” Mindset is doing a great job, it keeps you safe, and helps you run your contractor's business.
You think your best practical thoughts,
then it ducks and dives all day, and evening
trying to keep you safe.
Your Safety Mindset
and Growth Mindset
don’t get along.
Graft2Grow exists solely for UK Commercial Contractor Owners who don't want next year to be the same as last year — doing OK business, but have decided that now is the time to switch up.
Contractors we work with aren't feeling stuck because they can't do the work. They're feeling stuck because they may have listened to their safe voice for years — and now, for whatever reason, something needs to change.
Both 90 day Business Mentoring, and our Structured Monthly Business Coaching will help you find more time to work “On The Business” instead of in it.
90 Day Deep Dives — Specialist-Focused Mentoring for when one defined business topic needs your full attention, direction and implementation.

“How do I do this?”

Explore Monthly GROW CoachingBecause your "Success is Personal" — we help you build, consistently supporting your individual plans and actions to get you there.
Some things just go together.
Fish and Chips. Plug and Socket. Hammer and Nail. Partnerships we all know — and they work!
It's the same in your business. Your success and your money. Your sales and your marketing. Your people and your systems. They belong together — and that's exactly where your growth is hiding.
Your Company Growth Planning and your Customer's Journey are the Umbrella Plans that we update, month by month.
Underneath sit the 3 stools which we help you stabilise, along your own path.
Your Success & Money
Starting from now: set the foundations for what you want, where you see your future life, your future company — get a proper handle on your own money.
- Focus on what success looks like for you — as an individual, and as a business owner
- Picture the life and the company you're actually building towards
- Know your real margin, job by job
- Get your money and your success pulling in the same direction
Your money is how your company is trying to talk to you, we support your understanding of what it's saying and plot how you can keep more of it!
Sales & Marketing
Win the work you want, with the right clients, at the right margins, more often.
- Get clear on the clients worth having
- A consistent way to win work across the year, where word of mouth often has dips
- Brand and literature that back up what you say on the phone
- Sales and marketing working together — hand in glove
Your marketing brought in 40 leads this week — great. So now what? You have a great head for Sales — but your brand and socials are all over the place!
People & Systems
Take your team, your job management and your company culture to the point where the business no longer needs you in the mix every day as the Kingpin (or Queenpin).
- A team that runs the day without you in the middle of it
- Job management that holds up when you're not on site
- A Company culture that attracts great talent, and loyal customers
- Wage bill working for you, not eating your profit
Wages are your biggest monthly bill but people are your biggest asset, so now we look for the 20% margin hiding in the shadows!
Start with 2 Growth Plan Sessions.
Together we build your Company Growth Plan and map your Customer Journey Plan. Those two stay with you — the Work in Progress Umbrella Plan, plotting your future Success. £595 per session, minimum 2.5 hours.
After this, carry on with Monthly GROW Coaching Support — one 90 minute 1:1 session a month, plus weekly Growth Support open phone slots 1.00pm – 6.00pm every Monday and Friday (subject to change). Only stay with us because you want to — not because you have to. Step by Step.

Some area of your good business needs to change to make it safer or better.
Why a Once-only Specialist 90 Day Programme may be the “get it done!” way forward.

Built for UK Contractor Owners, by a Business Owner who's been there…
Graft2Grow is the Mentoring and Business Support arm of GVD Coaching — set up for the small and medium UK contractors we've worked alongside for years: MEP, HVAC, Fire & Security. The trades at the heart of UK growth and spirit of enterprise.
Mentoring helps with how. Coaching helps with why.
Ready to step out of your day-to-day, once a month, working your own plan?
A straight conversation, owner to owner. If we're a fit we'll say so — if not, you'll still leave with a clearer idea of your next move.
