This success story highlights how a growing construction business transformed from being overwhelmed and owner-dependent into a structured, profitable and scalable company.
Before working with Jamie Goral, the owner of Abbey Roofing was working long hours, managing everything personally, and struggling to keep up with growth.

As the business expanded, it became harder to manage.

A major turning point was bringing in a contract manager.
“We brought in a manager… it’s taken a lot of work off my shoulders.”
Structured communication helped improve visibility and alignment.
“Having regular meetings… helped us get clear visibility of what the staff want.”
The business shifted from reactive decisions to strategic planning.
“We had a good vision of where we were going, especially financially.”
One of the biggest changes was personal.
The owner transitioned from focusing purely on the trade to thinking like a business leader.
“I look at it from a business perspective now… more money-guided decisions.”
The results of these changes have been transformational:
“We’ve doubled our turnover… profit margins are four times higher.”
Even during challenging periods, the business has continued to grow.
Beyond financial success, the personal impact has been significant.
“Work finishes on a Friday… we don’t pick up again until Monday.”
This shift highlights the true goal of business growth—creating freedom, not just revenue.
