Season 8 | Ep40 Jamie Trevett on going all in on the US and shutting down his UK contracts business

Episode notes

Would you walk away from recurring revenue to chase a bigger opportunity overseas? On this week's episode of The RAG Podcast, I’m joined by Jamie Trevett, founder of Just Construction. Jamie was last on the show in 2022 when his UK construction recruitment firm had 25 staff and a growing contract book. Fast forward to today and Jamie has completely transformed the business. He shut down the contract side in the UK and relocated the company’s focus to the US market, where he now runs a similarly sized team doing 95% of their work stateside. In this episode, we discuss: Why he made the bold decision to leave the UK market behind The operational and cultural shifts required to succeed in the US How time zones and remote management work across continents The growing influence of AI on recruitment delivery What the future could look like for Just Construction, including a potential sale If you're thinking about scaling into the US or questioning how to futureproof your business in a changing market, you’ll get real insight from this one.
