Why SMEs Avoid Big Contractors + Building a HVAC Business from Scratch | Danny Walton

Episode #094 | Danny Walton

Don't worry! We're back to having guests!

This week Danny Walton, Managing Director of Skyline Mechanical Services, joins us for a wide-ranging conversation about HVAC, construction, business, apprenticeships, SMEs vs big contractors - and one hell of a World Cup road trip.

Danny talks openly about his journey through the construction industry, working with ISG before its collapse, setting up his own venture, and shares his thoughts on retentions, college schemes and getting young people into the trades before then giving us the inside scoop of what travelling around America for 4 weeks for the World Cup really entails!
