"My vision is to leverage our skills and expertise to build a successful portfolio that secures our future. Ultimately, I aim to transition trades from working for major clients to creating and showcasing our projects ourselves."

About me
Starting in 2003, I became a carpenter, gaining a reputation for my attention to detail and quality workmanship. I worked for multiple building companies learning my trade.
Then, I went on to manage the family business, showcasing my leadership abilities and driving it to new heights of success. Seven years ago, I established my own construction company, CS Carpentry and Construction Ltd. I prioritised integrity and customer satisfaction and carried out all types of internal and external carpentry work. My commitment to excellence brought me a loyal clientele and successful projects.
Venturing into property development five years ago with our new company, Link-id Ltd, my visionary mindset was to put our skills and trade to good use to grow a portfolio for our future and replace our big clients with our work.
Today, I am now a mentor for aspiring tradespeople, sharing my knowledge and guiding their growth.
Thank you for everyone's support & keep following/ sharing our journey to help others grow.
