Really interesting to hear the background and amazing how fast you've grown over such a short time, clearly testament to the quality of the work your company do!
This is exactly what I am trying to do, start up an electrical business. Pride in my work and quality.
I was made redundant in September, but before then, furloughed since late March. Having time to think about my future and not wanting to work for people who don't care about their employees, it was time to stand up and start to focus on my strengths.
So in July I decided to start to build my business, it hasn't been easy by any means. But the work goes on, training is just round the corner, van and tools in the bag.
Covid19 pandemic has been an absolute disaster for a lot of people, for me, its been a turning point, and i feel positive about the future.
Your work, and how you approach the tasks has been an inspiration for me.
All the best for the future.
Well done mate, hats off to you for sharing your background.
People always look at others who are doing well and think it’s alright for them, but never think of the back story of what you and your better half had to do to get there, well done mate 👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Hello Jordan a very honest and frank vid. Its nice to see guys like you who have an eye on the bigger picture all the time. And have attention to detail with not only the work that you do, but to the business as well. As you quite rightly point out its not just about price its the service you provide. Thank you and have a great festive period with your family.
Top bloke, and respect to you for the volunteering work you do. I am humbled 👍
Much appreciated
You can see the volunteer project we both worked on here bit.ly/2KNtodL
That’s a really nice story, I can see the passion and and the drive in your person, a good choice in Cory I believe, onward and upward, you deserve to do well
Thanks
Really great to hear about your volunteer work. I am sure that has a lot to do with your success! The right focus always leads to the right result :-)
Good little story, I've been doing 'small jobs' Electrician for 9 years now so now is the time to update to the 18th edition and move up to Inspection and Testing and to do bigger jobs. It's exciting and daunting at the same time, what with all the costs like registration and advertising(but there are loads of ways to do it free), but it's stories like yours help realise that it can be done, so thanks.
Hi Jordan, great insight! I’m 3 months into my own self employed journey and I already wish I’d done it years ago! I’ll be signing onto your course as I need a few pointers. Cheers for the rhino discount codes aswell!!
Picked up on that 70 hours volunteer work right away 😉 keep up the good work bro! 😎fellow electrician here in the US.
You seem so in tune with your decisions and keep being humble and polite.. respect for that attitude! 👌🙂
Love this Jordan. It’s been an absolute pleasure working with you. It always puts my mind at rest knowing that you’ve carried out works as I know it’ll be done properly
Thanks Phil that’s very kind of you to say!
I watch your videos all the time when you started naming the volunteer projects I was like sounds like a brother! Much love from LA!
Thanks! Yes Indeed! Nice to hear from you.
Glad to see your youtube channel worked out lots of new electrical boys popping up and its brilliant so much out there now!
Haha thanks yeah true there's some good stuff to watch
Thanks Jordan, I’ve watched and enjoyed your CZcams vids over the years whilst on tea breaks at work. After 20 years same employer recently made redundant ( Covid Casualty!), just starting off on my own NIC registered but apprehensive ! Your vids are a great moral help and support, not all new starters in this trade are young beautiful with a tattoo, So thanks from one of the oldies and over 50’S 👍
That’s awesome thanks for sharing your story! If you need some business guidance for starting up I have made an electricians business course with many hours of content to help people like yourself start their own electrical business, you can watch the first 4 lessons free here course.electriciansbusinesscourse.co.uk/courses/electricians-business-course
Jordon is a good egg with a great positve and ethical approach to running a quality, value for money business. Well done Jordon ! Wishing you a good and safe Christmas and best of luck in the new year to you and your team.
Thanks Bryan
I'm currently re-training to become an electrician. My goal is to set my own business up in time. I'm looking forward to the future. Its good to hear how you did it. All the best👍
Thanks
I think a lot of people out there will, after this Video look at your efforts with added respect. Good on you for all your volunteering.
Thanks very much!
Fair play to you bud! Sounds like you put you're all into everything you do which should be admired! I've just started my own electrical business so a little nervous but taking that leap as I'm sure it will take off in time!
Hey Buddy - Just curious if youre still running your own company, and if so hows it going?
@@jeffklaassen yes still going mate although I'm predominantly doing more sub contractor work as it's a much more chilled environment and little to no paperwork involved. I've slowed down my own work now as for me, I wasn't getting any quality of life was just work work work which isn't for me.
Hi Lloyd, what area are you based in?
Good for you with all the volunteer work. Not too much of a problem with electricians around here - now, decorators, there's room for an Artisan Decorator without a doubt.
Thank you for being so open and helpful
Hi Jordan
I really enjoy watching your videos I’m an electrician myself I set up my business only a few years ago coming out from a completely different arena.
Thank you for sharing with us your story I really would like to grab a cup of coffee and exchange the experience and what made me the person I am today and what values I respect the most in my day-to-day electrical business, they are very similar to yours but somehow I do not feel brave enough to put the content on CZcams.
I wish you and your family Merry Christmas!
Greg
Thanks Greg!
i am currently looking at doing an electricians course (no electrical experience) because of watching your videos. your attention to detail, Your manors and your work eithic are awe inspiring. I love the finnese you have with all your jobs that you do and nothing but 100% perfection is accepted. if i can become half the electrician you have become then i will be a very happy man with a very happy customer base. Keep up the great work and dont let nothing hold you back in achieving what you want to achieve
Wow thank you very kind comments I’m glad you enjoy my videos
Such amazing life story. You are honest man and you deserve this kind of success and much more!
Thanks a lot!
Success well deserved dude. Thanks for the time you put into your channel.
Thanks a lot!
Happy Christmas and new year to you and your family Jordan
That's AMAZING your story. I love to learn about your work job and video. I really enjoy watching your video. Maybe someday I would love to visit and see you there. But I live near San Francisco California. Awesome Thumb up! Cheer!
Svaka ti cast ! Bravo !
Greetings from Croatia. Love your channel
As fellow Witness myself and a Electrician i have learned a lot from your videos TY .. We here in Virginia send our love back to you brothers and sisters , not much longer now.
Awesome! Thanks for your message
Not sure how I did come across this channel, probably by looking some info on “how to” as fo like diy, but electricity was always scary bit for me. Now I’m glued to this and actually thinking about taking on electrician course of some sort
Haha awesome
Not sure if you’ll see this comment now, but I actually met Corey on the Chelmsford project! I only attended the day as I was deep into my apprenticeship so I couldn’t give more of my time. But as a qualified spark now, it’s so nice to see such a high standard of work by the both of you. Be great to see you both one day!
Excellent thanks for the comment!
Very candid video! Thanks for sharing 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
your hard work is paying off.
great story , very inspiring ☺️
Thanks
Hi Jordan, interesting story and well done to you. This country needs thousands of Jordan's or we are in trouble, regardless of business type, it's having the foresight. Happy Christmas and New Year to you, looking forward to more videos next year. Cheers, Alex.
Thanks a lot
Amazing advice, and what a great story. And dare I say it an ambassador to the trade.
Such a humble guy, all the best on your future. 🙏 True genuine people will always succeed, fair play.
Thanks a lot!
A great insight to Artisan Electrics. Top bloke, well done mate. 👍
Thanks
So very interesting to listen to, you deserved this success!
Enjoyed watching your story, particularly humbled also about your volunteering. Although not an electrician, enjoy watching your content, especially on EV charging. Always impressed with your high standards of work, it's how I would work. If I get an electric vehicle, would definitely want Artisan to fit a Zappi charging point. In meantime, look forward to more videos and wishing you loads of success.
Thanks a lot thats great to hear!
Your business ethic is admirable Jordan. As a customer, the process of finding good tradespeople is a minefield and thankfully there are guys like you local to us who provide quality and work to a high standard. It is a pity that there aren't trustworthy registers of reliable trusted tradesmen. It would be a positive step forward
I have found similar problems getting electricians who fulfil their promises, are well presented in all respects or even simply turn up on time! I now work in IT having previously worked in the entertainment industry and have had occasional requirements to get electrical contractors, many of the people I work with / for wouldn’t take kindly to contractors, at my recommendation, looking scruffy, doing a bad job with poor quality components and generally having bad presentation (especially language).
I did not know about your volunteering work. Hats off.
Thanks
First of all, Guys you do amazing job and w
I enjoy watching every video on your channel!
Second- I really appreciate that someone is doing such a great and informative videos.
And thirdly- You are legends 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Very inspiring. I'm trying to start up my own electrician business, I have completed my domestic installer course and I'm looking for a place to gain experience.
Great video and a fascinating story - many thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it
Wonderful ,thankyou for the ideas.very helpful indeed
You're welcome, thanks for watching!
Great Story Jordan!
You deserve to do well.
Thanks Peter
I'm a mechanical fitter by trade. Have been for 10 years. I've had a lot of experience using machines, hand tools and power tools throughout oil & gas industries as well as nuclear and renewables, as well as studying engineering theory. 6 months ago I decided to join up to a training scheme to get my City & Guilds Diplomas to become a fully qualified electrician, including EV charging points and solar panels. I though this would be a good idea to broaden my horizon and have 2 skills under my belt by the time I get into my 30's. However, I haven't had much experience in working on electrical equipment or working with cables etc. I study every day both electrical theory and all the material necessary for city and guilds. The training centre provides practical sessions. Having been an apprentice in a different discipline I understand the importance of gaining experience, repeating tasks and being exposed to different situations in order to learn and gather knowledge. My question is, given my current situation, what route do you think would be the best for me to go down in order to get more experience in electrical work? I am worried I may not be able to get a job as an electrician if an employer see's that I haven't done an actual apprenticeship or have no experience.
Good as always, hats off to you .
Thanks Pauline
Fair play to you. Could be a book to write in this!
Looks like a good course. Does it include an explanation of all the paperwork necessary/required to start/run your electrical business? I.e. invoices, test forms etc.
Love your videos!
Brad
Hi Brad! Sorry for the delayed reply, yes it does include all those things!
What a top man you mate. I wish you all the luck in the world 👍
Thanks a lot!
You are great 👍 thanks
Big respect
Great story
Great guy,
Very inspiring
👍
Thanks 😊
You are amazing.. that’s simply I can say
👍
Just out of curiosity what is the nature of your volunteer work as it seems to play a great part in your daily life and it must be hard to do it and run a business.
Great lamp 🤩 And great vlog ⭐️
Thanks!
CZcams is full of ''celebrity'' sparks who are clueless how to run a business influencing other clueless sparks
to run over a cliff. Your story is proof that you can build and run a successful business if you do it right.
btw, I was talking with one my subs the other day and he said that I should invite you to one of my podcasts
Thanks
Thats an amazing amount of volunteering, well done. Are you a JW yourself?
Thanks it’s been really enjoyable. Yes I am a Jehovah’s Witness 👍
Great video, well done.
Thanks 😊
Very informative , I never realised how big your company was .
Glad it was helpful!
Very impressive CV. As are the risks you took ... selling a business to pursue your voluntary work. I salute the optimism and work ethic of youth. I am retired (from an exciting career in educational computing) now having an easy life, but doing big DIY projects. I miss the innovation I was involved with in schools, but there seems to be so much happening in electrical world, innovation, change, development and controversy. I often wonder if the educational system, in the 60s had provided advice related to interests, skills and aptitudes then I might have taken a different career, perhaps building, construction, electrical, etc. Rather than academic. At 70 years of age perhaps I shouldn’t be thinking of an exciting new career! From the videos I have been watching there seems such a huge gap in the number of competent electricians that are required. I deliberately left out the word qualified. Competent and qualified don’t see to br synonymous.
I wish you well and expect that, as you grow Artisan Electrics, you can maintain the same high standards, that’s really a challenge. Otherwise you become “another electrical contractor”, and descend into mediocrity. I don’t think you will. Aim high, as you always seem to do.
Thanks so much!
Legend.
Hi Jordan, another great video. I have a question - where do you get all your branded T-shirts? I'm looking for recommendations for some decent quality branded workwear. Thanks.
I got them from Workwear Express, the polo shirts are great but the jackets we got recently are not very good quality.
Can someone tell me why all electrical, plumbing and carpentry businesses are private?
I realize there are some corporations like Walmart and Home Depot that contract out such services, but I'm talking about corporations that soley specialize in one or more of these services.
It would be great if there were. Prices would be lower and the quality of the service better because a corporations reputation is the most important thing.
Replying to your enquiry emails is a good start!!!!
We have a long waiting list I’m afraid so sometimes we can’t reply to everyone otherwise I would be working 24/7
@@artisanelectrics You had 4 days to reply.
Using that poor excuse of a reply to me and probably many others could label you as unreliable. It appears you are using this platform as advertising to which you do not have the resources to enable you to follow up. Shame really.
@@mickgee3489 I can’t even find your enquiry I’m afraid, when did you send it and what name?
I'd quite like to do some volunteer work on some projects myself - I think it would be immensely satisfying. Any tips on how to find some that are local? How did you get started in doing it?
Heres how I did it: bit.ly/2KNtodL
Fair play to you young man.....
Did that person from your last upload ring you again to take this post down?? Didn't think so !!
Nope 😂
Hey Jordan have you considered doing a separate CZcams channel called Artisan Volunteering! Discussing and showing us more about your volunteer work and what it is that you do? As I would instantly subscribe :D
Thanks I’m glad your interested in that side of things but I try to keep my private life and professional life separate and so I don’t think I would want to do a channel about my volunteer work. Nice thought though. I did share a video link in one of the other comments about the volunteer project that myself and Cory worked on in Chelmsford if you’re interested in seeing that project.
hey. boutta be a second year apprentice but have been overshadowed by the thought of eventually owning my own company one day. it just seems so overwhelming, however i know that i’ll eventually have the skills and knowledge needed. but it’s still like a looming storm cloud if that makes sense
i know i don’t necessarily need to own my own business. however i feel like that is my end goal however i’m just not sure about how to get to that goal
Well done I like your videos 👍
Thanks
Excellent sir
I would like to volunteer work. I have 85% knowledge electric.
Has anyone got any good ideas how I can drum up work as I'm starting out in a new area of the country so literally starting from scratch also need some work before I can spend on major advertising and things life that. I'm in on the Fylde coast area if anyone can help or has any work they need a hand with.
Is it possible to successfully start my own business as a newly qualified electrician without years of experience working for someone else?
can you explain why you spent months and years doing volunteer?
even though it's been costing you alot of money instead of making money doing paid work?
especially when you started your own business, 6 weeks later you went to portugal to do volunteer work? i don't understand why
Top man 🙂👍
Thanks
Really interesting story Jordan, much more interesting than mine 😃
Thanks but i'm still waiting to hear what the reason was for that rip out!
@@artisanelectrics haha don’t worry it’s coming. I’ve already filmed it once and deleted the footage by accident 🤦🏻♂️
😩👍
Well done, I'm a spark approaching retirement age always worked on heavy industry, offshore, nuclear etched. Domestic stuff gives me the heebie jeebies but having seen you I might give it a go, keep me from vegetating. About the volunteer work, I used to work with down and outs years ago as a volunteer. Why not consider the Catholic faith... a bit more grounded, if you'll pardon the pun....!!!
Interesting story 😎
Thanks Richard
Jordan you are a great entrepreneur !!
I appreciate that!
Electricians Business Course, sounds interesting... what's the catch?
Oh only $995 pounds or three easy payments of $350 😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂
Do you think he shouldn't charge for the full of his knowledge?
£995 investment to get a business right and grow it is not that much if I'm honest with you. I have done 121 business coaching, was costing me £750/month for a year and would do it all over again as it transformed the way I run my company and managed to dramatically increase my profitability.
Btw, I have no association with what Jordan does and not planning to ever sign up to his training, as I've though those things already
@@EruElectrics - There has been an influx of CZcamsrs creating online business courses recently, which makes me extremely skeptical. Also typically these types of courses don't deliver and only serve to make the author money. If he will stand behind the course that he is delivering, a longer money-back guarantee and cheaper entry cost might provide for more credibility. Also by having it this expensive it will keep it out of reach for those who could use his knowledge the most. Either way, it isn't for me.
@@EruElectrics - I'd also like to point out, you might not be affiliated with him, but you are doing the exact same thing with your own CZcams channel. affiliate links, ebooks, the usual drivel. "The Amazing Selling Machine!"
@@hycron1234 surely it looks like that more and more business coaches popping out targeting trades with a lot of them never been on a trade to know first hand how it is.
I think something that MAY make Jordan to struggle to grow the course is that he's hasn't built enough momentum as an expert on this type of business yet. But you never know.
On your 2nd comment, what I do is very different for what people like Jordan do. Affiliate marketing costs nothing to the buyer, I only point towards a tool I use and am happy with it or a service I use and helped me running my business, and when someone buys I make a small commission.
Not really interesting on starting just another course if I'm honest with you. Only looking to share my experience, and create some passive income on the way. The channel has to fund itself somehow 😎
is IoT connected to electrical engineering?
👍 up
What kind of volunteer work did you and Corey meet at?
You can see the project we both worked on here: bit.ly/2KNtodL
@@artisanelectrics Are you and corey jehovah's witnesses?
@@lewistempleman9752 Yes we are
Love your work, hope you keep it up!
Wanted to know how you go about doing your customer's invoices?
Do you know any app that I could possibly use ?
Cheers
Yeah Tradify is the best! Give it a go!
Well done Jordan. I had no idea about the voluntary work you & your good lady have been & continue to be involved with. Says an awful lot about you both. It is sad that the electrical industry still contains a large amount of unscrupulous people that call themselves 'electricians'. My apprenticeship took 5 years back in the 80's & it frustrates the hell out of me that folk can now do a 2 week Part P course & then flout & sell themselves as bona fide 'electricians'...utter tosh!! Keep up the excellent work pal.
Thanks very much
@@artisanelectrics 👍do you have a PM address Jordan?
I will not think twice to apply to work in your company if only you're based few miles away from me. 😄
What sort of volunteering work were you involved in?
You can see the project we both worked on here:bit.ly/2KNtodL

Probably a really good industry to get into given that we will be encouraged to drive electric cars and people will need charging points etc. Also solar panels and adapting our houses for more gadgets and home automation. Where do I sign up?
Not being negative in any way but how are you making 125k off of 300k turnover? And paying 7 staff? That’s less than 25k per electrician and that’s accounting for you not spending a penny on equipment, vans, clothings, parts and everything you need to run a business?
It’s really nice to hear about your volunteer work, but for those of us who weren’t born into a business to begin with, and don’t have the means to spend years volunteering, it’s hard to relate.
Thanks, I know what you mean
Wel done indeed, It is never easy starting I started 3 years ago, 1st year was 45k turnover, 2nd year was £210k and now in our 3rd year we have secured orders for 2.5m over 3 years, work hard and you will get the great rewards, I hope anyway.
Wow well done great journey!
Hi Mark, are you still going? Was it in electrics too? May i ask what qualifications you have and how you scaled up so quick. If you have time. Thanks
Top man!
Thanks
I like the volunteering aspect, it has upped my opinion of you massively. New you would be selling something though which is a shame.
Thanks James
Hello Sir, I am Pakistani and I work as an electrician in Saudi Arabia and I want to come to Europe
Welcome!
love your content and that story but a grand for advice that you've been posting for free for years? disappointed tbh. can I have it on a voluntary basis please 🤣
Can I work for u
