Hi, I’m Jack Kendall.

A little bit about me, I'm 31 years old from Berkshire, married and we have a little boy called Oakley as seen to your right. I love spending time with family and friends but also like my own company. Big football fan, unfortunately support Spurs. I'm also a keen cricketer and terrible golfer.

​

I left school in 2009, parents forced me into an  IT appentership as I was jobless and not at college, this lead me to my first role as a service engineer for a company called NCR, hated it but it was beer money for the weekend! Done that for a few years, then had a dabble at Forex trading, certainly don't have the patience for that. 

​

This is when I set up my first company, a spot the ball competition, this failed miserably. Realising it was going to need a huge investment which I didn't have, I had a small amount of cash left. I cut my losses, exited and set up Just Kendall. 

​

Just Kendall is a women's online clothing store. I set this up with my wife Amy in 2018 and we're still running today. This is where my passion for marketing developed. 

​

So why are you wanting to help tradesmen join the web I hear you ask?

​

Well... long story short, I was looking to get some work done on my house, scouring the web for tradesmen to do the work lead me to checkatrade. Looking through things became apparent that a lot of companies don't have websites and aren't on social media. Don't get me wrong, a lot did but I found myself disregarding the companies without. 

​

In this day and age it's what people expect and if you don't have them to support your business you're missing out on potential leads. If you need work done, 9 times out of 10 you look to google, electrican near me, plummer near me, if you aren't there your potential customers can't see you.

​

I started to do a little research into marketing agencies for tradesmen, there are a few out there but they're charging through the roof for their services and promising the world, which I do not agree with. A trades website shouldn't cost thousands of pounds to build nor should someone be charging that. 

​

I want to create something that is accessible to everyone, not just businesses turning over 6 figures.
