Alison Perry is director of Triangle Builders Limited – a building organisation which works with social housing landlords across Merseyside to design, build and renovate properties.
Not only do they provide a consistent high-quality service, but they are committed to improving the job prospects of those who live in the Bootle area, and so they only employ local people.
The current financial climate has been a challenge for Triangle Builders, but Alison knew that in order to survive they had to adapt.
“We had to make some very difficult decisions and unfortunately we had to reduce the number of staff we employed, but we were determined to do as much as we could to promote ourselves and maintain the solid reputation we had earned over the past 35 years.”
To add to Alison’s workload, in June she became the first ever female to be appointed National Vice Chair of the National Federation of Builders. This high profile and prestigious role certainly achieved Alison’s aim of highlighting women in the industry, but she was committed to making sure the organisation she had been dedicated to for 15 years was given every possible opportunity to flourish.
This is where Stepclever came in.
Alison added: “The changes to the company had meant my confidence was pretty low, but Stepclever gave me the kick I needed!
“I was able to focus on what I had to do to take the company further and knew that I would be given support and guidance the entire time.
“Stepclever gave us fantastic marketing advice and how we could sell ourselves and make us an attractive option to potential clients.”
Since making the most of what was on offer, Alison is looking at other ways to work with Stepclever and has already recommended them to other organisations.
“The help given is absolutely vital, especially at this time when a lot of people are struggling to keep their heads above water. I encourage as many people as possible to utilise what could be business-saving funding, help and advice.”
