Blueline Plumbing, Gasfitting & Heating is a great example of a trade business built on workmanship, reliability and a genuine desire to do things properly. Based on Auckland’s North Shore, Blueline provides plumbing, gasfitting, heating, drainage, maintenance and project work across Auckland. The business has grown from its early beginnings into a team of qualified, certified and insured professionals, with a clear focus on high-quality service and trusted workmanship.
From my perspective, working with a business like Blueline is about helping the owner stay in control as the business grows. Growth is exciting, but in a trade business it can also create pressure: more jobs, more people, more decisions and more moving parts. The goal is not simply to get busier. The goal is to build a business that is commercially stronger, easier to lead, and able to keep delivering the standard customers already know and trust.
Our coaching work helped support that next stage of growth by bringing more clarity around priorities, performance, numbers and decision-making. For a business owner, that clarity matters because it creates confidence. It helps the owner see what is working, what needs attention, and where the best opportunities sit.
Through our work together, Blueline achieved a 29.72% increase in sales, a 50.96% increase in gross profit, and a 115.22% increase in net profit. What stands out to me is the balance of those results. Revenue grew, margin improved, and profitability strengthened at the same time. That is the kind of growth that gives a trade business more stability, more options and a better platform for the future.
