Raising the Bar: How the Business Growth Accelerator is Improving Standards in Construction and Trades
In my 25+ years running trades businesses – including ESI: Electrical Safety Inspections – one thing has always stood out: most problems in our industry aren’t down to poor workmanship, they’re down to poor business systems. Great tradespeople too often struggle with quoting, cashflow, customer management, and hiring, not because they’re not smart – but because no one ever taught them how to run a business properly.
That’s why I created the Business Growth Accelerator – a 7-part training programme designed specifically to help construction and trade business owners build better businesses, increase profitability, and raise standards across the industry.
A Programme Built by Trades, for Trades
This isn’t a generic business course with fluffy content. It’s built on the real-world challenges I’ve faced firsthand at ESI, and those I’ve seen countless others struggle with:
- Pricing jobs too low to “win work”
- Relying on word-of-mouth with no real marketing strategy
- Chasing payments or dealing with awkward clients
- Getting stuck “on the tools” with no time to plan or grow
“Every tradesperson starts out wanting to do a great job. But somewhere along the way, the business side starts dragging you down. That’s what this Accelerator fixes.”
— Jamie Morgan, Founder of ESI & Trainer, Business Growth Accelerator
Aiming Higher: Why Standards Matter
Let’s be honest – the construction and trades industry doesn’t always get the reputation it deserves. But I believe that by improving how we run our businesses, we can also:
- Deliver better service to clients
- Pay our staff properly and retain talent
- Attract the next generation into the trades
- And create more stability and pride in our work
The Accelerator helps achieve this by giving business owners the tools and confidence to operate at a higher standard – not just technically, but commercially.
“When your business runs smoothly, you have time to train apprentices properly, build better client relationships, and sleep at night. That’s how we raise the bar.”
— Jamie Morgan
What’s in the Programme?
The Business Growth Accelerator is built around seven modules:
- Clarity – Define where you want your business to go
- Control – Take charge of your time, team, and tools
- Cash – Make sure every job is profitable
- Clients – Attract more of the right kind of customers
- Capacity – Build a team and systems that scale

Each module comes with practical tools, templates, and video lessons you can work through at your own pace. There’s also the option for coaching and support if you want more personalised help.
