Robin Hayhurst – Construction Business Mentor

Former Managing Director · Mentor to Construction Business Owners

I ran Court Homes to a £12–14 million turnover. In 2015 the company went under. I went down fighting — not just for myself, but for our contractors and suppliers too.

From the outside a company going bust looks like a business problem. From the inside it’s anguish. Unless you’ve lived it, you cannot understand the pressure it puts on you, your family, and your team.

I rebuilt. I started again. And through that journey I discovered my real purpose — helping construction business owners avoid the mistakes I made.

Today I mentor construction companies across the UK, sharing the systems, tools and leadership structures that allow businesses to grow without constant firefighting.

Everything I got wrong is now a system or tool designed to stop it happening to you. I don’t coach you to “find answers” — I show you what actually works in the real world.

Is the Construction Success Programme Right for You?

This mentoring works best when there is the right fit. Use the criteria below to see if the programme is likely to help your business.

Most owners who join are running construction companies between £500k and £5m turnover.

This programme is likely a good fit if:

  • You run a construction company and feel stuck firefighting
  • You want structure, clarity and control in the business
  • You are profitable, but know the company could perform better
  • You want systems that work on real projects — not theory
  • You are ready to change how the business operates

This programme may not be right if:

  • You are looking for a quick fix or overnight growth
  • You want motivational coaching instead of practical tools
  • You are not willing to change how the business is run
  • You are looking for generic business advice not specific to construction

Still unsure where your business stands?
