Sam Bishop is building a bright future with his handyman company, Bishops

In today’s uncertain business climate, it’s encouraging to discover a success story. While many young people are struggling to find a job, 24-year-old Sam Bishop of Hove is a serious entrepreneur in the building and maintenance trade, starting straight from school with a two-year apprenticeship in security systems. A year later, at the age of 19, he started his own business, and now has a team of 12 men working for him, covering the whole spectrum of property maintenance, from fitting a tap washer to undertaking a complete loft conversion.

“I loved building things as a kid, and always knew I was going into a trade,” says Sam. “And now, with the property market the way it is, lots of people are going down the route of improving. I’ve noticed that a lot of people are renovating, installing new bathrooms and making other improvements, as a way of investing in their own bricks and mortar.”

And Sam’s team at Bishops is more than ready to help with this. They’ll undertake a vast range of minor and major domestic and commercial works, including boiler installations and repairs, central heating, re-wiring, shower installations, fire alarms, CCTV, and new bathrooms and kitchens.

So – what’s the secret of Sam’s success in business?

“I think it’s important to offer a professional, efficient and courteous service at all times,” he explains. “Looking after our customers is something we do well – and it’s the only way to ensure repeat business. If our customers like us, they’ll use us again.”

In these difficult economic times, Sam and his company are certainly bucking the economic trend in a really impressive way.
