Own The Build

How to navigate the choppy waters between material supplier and customer, as a subcontractor. (EP 112)


Listen Later

This week, Paul is joined by Nicola Barden, Managing Director at BSF Solid Surfaces, a specialist subcontractor specialising in 3D Thermoforming and producing bespoke centrepiece designs since 1998.

During today’s show, we talk about inflation and how this has affected Nicola’s business in the past few years. Nicola shares tactics on how she has managed her relationship with her suppliers and then with her clients to ensure that her business best navigated this situation.

In this entertaining episode, Nicola also shares her thoughts on retention, payment and how she would improve construction.
