I work with trades. I know what they're missing.
In my day job, I work as a Quantity Surveyor and Procurement Manager — which means I spend my working life evaluating contractors, appointing tradespeople, and managing supply chains on construction projects across Surrey.
And I've seen the same pattern play out more times than I can count. A larger contractor — one with a polished website, a Google Business profile, and a stack of five-star reviews — wins the work. A sole trader who's been doing the same job better for twenty years doesn't even get a look-in. Not because their work isn't good enough. Because they couldn't be found.
That's not a skills gap. That's a visibility gap. And it's one that's completely fixable.
"A tradesperson with thirty years of experience and no website is losing work every single day to a competitor who is half as good but twice as easy to find. I've watched it happen. It's not right."
I assess the cost and value of construction work, working closely with tradespeople from early planning through to project completion. I see first-hand which contractors get appointed and why.
I manage the process of finding, evaluating and appointing contractors. Online presence, reviews and professionalism all feed directly into whether a tradesperson gets the call — or doesn't.
I started Site Seen to give local tradespeople in Surrey and beyond the online presence they deserve — built around how their business actually works, not a generic template.
