Aaron McLeish

Aaron is a Sheffield-based accountant, author and business mentor helping plumbing, heating and trade businesses run more profitably and with less stress. As Managing Director of Together We Count and Together We Build, Aaron now spends his time creating practical tools, SOP libraries and training resources that give owners more control over their operations.

Through his books - The Quote Handbook and The Systems Handbook – Aaron shares proven ways to price work accurately, systemise processes and free up time to focus on growth. He regularly speaks, writes, and collaborates with trade professionals, always championing simple, no-jargon solutions that work in the real world.

The Quote Handbook is Aaron’s step-by-step guide to pricing and quoting for work with confidence. Written for plumbing and heating business owners and other trades businesses, it shows you how to piece together a well written quotation that will result in better margins and more profit! The book also shows the reader how to present quotes that win more of the right kind of work you seek.

Inside are templates, pricing models and strategies - plus tips on handling discounts, dealing with “price shoppers” and building value into every quote.

The Systems Handbook is Aaron’s blueprint for systemising a plumbing and heating business. Packed with over 70 ready-to-use Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), it helps owners and managers build consistency, save time and improve customer service.

Covering job management, quoting, invoicing, customer communication and financial control, each SOP is written in plain English so it can be implemented quickly. Built on the principle of continuous improvement, Kaizen, the handbook provides a living framework that scales as your business grows.
