Mansfield Plumber’s Remarkable Business Journey: Meet Kev Jones, The Plumber Who Went From 5 Boilers a Month to 30
Posted by: electime 3rd March 2025
Just a year ago, local plumber Kev Jones was working six days a week, earning a modest £20,000 a year and struggling to keep his business afloat. Today, he runs a rapidly expanding heating company, with a professional team, structured operations and a booming income. His transformation is a testament to the power of business mentorship and strategic planning.
Jones, the owner of Kev Jones Plumbing & Heating LTD, had spent years working tirelessly but with little financial reward. “I was just going through the motions, trying to make ends meet,” he recalls. “I knew I needed to change something, but I didn’t know what.”
That change came when he joined Trade Mastermind, a business coaching programme designed specifically for trade professionals looking to scale their businesses. Through structured mentorship, industry insights and a proven blueprint, Jones learned the skills necessary to run a business rather than just work in one.
The results were almost immediate and Jones saw a sharp increase in sales. In just his first three months, Jones saw a dramatic rise in sales, going from five boilers in his first month to eight in the second and nine in the third. By last month, he had closed 29 sales, an impressive jump from just five heating units. He invested in branding, developed professional systems and hired a dedicated team to support his expansion. Today, his business is unrecognisable from its former self.
“My income has grown beyond anything I imagined, but more importantly, I now have a business that can run without me having to do everything myself,” Jones explains in a video sharing his experience. “It’s given me the time to focus on growth and also to support my family when they need me.”
Jones’s story is not just an individual success, it highlights a wider trend of local tradespeople embracing business coaching to get off the tools, break free from the cycle of long hours and limited income. For many in Mansfield’s trade sector, Jones’s journey serves as both inspiration and proof that success is possible with the right guidance. As local businesses navigate economic challenges, structured support programmes like Trade Mastermind offer a way forward.
