As a business owner it's difficult to keep up with an ever evolving industry, and joinery business owners know this better than anyone. Coming from a craftsman background moving into a manufacturing role can be really difficult as trying to maintain a business mindset while not taking away the creativity you once had can be hard. On top of the current technological advances in the industry, it can all feel like a lot.
Today on the podcast we talk in depth about this perspective and issue, going through the ways as a business owner you can manage the shift into manufacturing, and keep a steady head with all the big advances in technology.
We have Leeroy Reading from Reading Furniture & Joinery on to talk to us about his mindset around it and how he stays cool running the fantastic business he's built. And we also have Nigel Newman to talk about learning factory flow as a craftsman and how it can be an advantage to see the business from your perspective.
Today's episode is an incredibly dense and thorough dive into the topic of craftsmanship transitioning into manufacturing roles, so grab some coffee and get ready for some fresh insight!
