Sam Jones
@samjones2
I build loyal client relationships through practical trades delivery, sales, recruitment, and business ownership.
What I'm looking for
Since 2022, I’ve run HandySam, delivering general building, handyman, maintenance, quoting, scheduling, materials sourcing, and financial management across Ludlow and South Shropshire. I’ve built a loyal repeat-client base serving commercial clients, estate agents, landlords, and residential customers.
Before that, I built a temporary staffing team at Team4You for Different Dog and delivered a recruitment day for Insure That that resulted in six permanent placements. I’m comfortable sourcing, screening, interviewing, and reporting outcomes directly to clients.
I co-founded D T Plant Hire, where I handled company setup, insurance, accreditation, website, social media, print marketing, banking, and payment facilities. I helped grow repeat custom to more than 70% of turnover during a volatile trading period.
My sales background includes exceeding targets at Barratt Developments, maintaining the highest on-site NHBC customer satisfaction rating for three years, and creating schemes that revived a stagnating development. I’m now looking for a varied, long-term challenge with opportunities to travel.
