Engineering Consulting Services - Bambrough And Associates
Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Garry Bambrough, founder of Bambrough And Associates Inc., located in Havelock, ON, Canada.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
My business is to provide economical and safe elevators and escalators with engineering consulting services.
Tell us about yourself
As professional engineers, we have a range of opportunities upon graduation, and I found the elevator world very interesting. We take salt for granted but require it to live. Likewise, we take elevators for granted but require them to achieve any range of Vertical Transportation.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
I grew my consulting business from scratch and grew it continuously until I sold it. I am proud of this, but my biggest accomplishment as a business owner is that I recognized customer needs and met those needs 99% of the time.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Allowing yourself to set aside family or personal time.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- When you start a new business, you need a plan. It can be just 1 page long, but you need to define your service and customers.
- Do not worry about things you do not know, such as accounting, business registration, etc. Others will do this for you. Just focus on your customers and your services.
- Know how to type up an invoice and collect payment.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
At the end of each day, look back and be proud of what you did. If you are not, then make amends the next day and move on with the changes made. Continuously improve.
