The Second-in-Command
£3,000/month
Priority access across the full week.
So you can lead the business, not run it.
You've built something real, the team, the reputation, the workload to prove it. What hasn't caught up is your place inside it. You're still fielding things that shouldn't need you at all.
At this level, the gap is someone who understands the operation well enough to run the back of it, make the right calls, and keep you informed rather than involved in every detail. You hear about problems in a weekly check-in, not when a client phones to complain. Your attention goes to the decisions that actually change the direction of the business.
What's included
Dedicated operational contact
A single point of contact with full context across the business, available across the full working week. No briefing required, they already know what's on, what's outstanding, and what needs to move.
Architect & developer relationships
Relationships with architects and developers maintained properly and consistently. Communications handled, follow-ups sent, names remembered. The professional presence that gets you considered for the next project without you having to remind anyone you exist.
Portfolio & proactive outreach
Your portfolio kept current and put in front of the right people: architects, developers, housing associations. Proactive outreach sent to contacts who should know your name but don't yet. The business grows without you having to be the one doing the growing.
Tenders & new business
Tender documents supported and new business correspondence handled. Deadlines tracked, submissions prepared properly, covering letters that reflect the quality of the company. Opportunities followed through rather than missed.
Recruitment support
Job postings written and listed. Initial applications screened. You see a shortlist, not a pile. The right people start at the right time rather than you realising too late that the team's understaffed for the next job.
Weekly check-ins & monthly reviews
A standing call each week covering what's in motion, what needs a decision, and what's coming up. A monthly review covering pipeline, outstanding payments and compliance status. You lead with information, not gut feel.
Best for: Established building and contracting companies with the team, the reputation and the workload, but an owner still too far inside the operation to lead it the way they want to.
