Surrey, Metro Vancouver
Surrey is a city of owner-operators. Trades contractors, truckers, builders, importers and family businesses run from Newton, Cloverdale and Campbell Heights, most of them led by one or two people who do everything. Our job in Surrey is to give those owners a real leadership team and a working sales and marketing department without a move downtown or a dozen new hires.
The local economy, in plain words
- Construction, home building and the full range of trades that follow new housing
- Trucking, logistics and warehousing along the highway corridors
- A growing hospital and health campus with the clinics around it
- Manufacturing and food processing in the industrial parks
- Retail and services spread across several town centres rather than one downtown
What we do in Surrey
Most Surrey engagements begin with an outsourced marketing department and a sales systems team, because the owner is the entire pipeline. We install a lead system, a CRM the team actually uses, follow-up automation and a weekly number the owner can read in a minute. Once the pipeline is predictable, a fractional COO builds the structure to deliver it.
Leadership coaching is part of almost every Surrey engagement, because the shift from doing to managing is the hardest step for a founder who built the company by hand.
Who we work with here
HVAC, plumbing, roofing and electrical contractors, home builders and renovators, trucking and distribution firms, auto repair shops and the professional practices that serve them. Ali's agencies built the lead systems behind the results published on hvac.agency, and we bring the same people to Surrey rather than a generic marketing vendor.
Family businesses planning a handover to the next generation use us to build the management layer that makes the transfer possible, with the legal and tax side left to their lawyers and accountants.
How engagements run in Surrey
We come to you. Ali drives out for leadership meetings and the first workshops, and Surrey's spread-out geography means we plan on-site days around your shop or yard rather than an office. The specialists for finance, data and automation join by video.
Expect short meetings, written playbooks for dispatch, estimating and follow-up, and AI agents that handle the repetitive parts of booking and quoting. Contact is by phone, text or email, which suits owners who are rarely at a desk.

Questions from Surrey
Will you work with a Surrey contractor who has no office staff?
Yes. Many Surrey clients run from a truck and a home office. We set up the systems first, then help you hire a first coordinator with a playbook already written.
Can the marketing team handle a trades company specifically?
That is where Ali's team has its longest track record. The HVAC, boiler and heating results published at hvac.agency came from the same specialists who would join your engagement.
Is leadership coaching included or separate?
Either. Owners with a fractional executive engagement get coaching built in, and others book it on its own to prepare for stepping out of daily work.
Tell us which seat is empty.
A 30-minute call with Ali about the business and the people running it. You leave knowing which role to fill first and whether fractional, outsourced or a hire is the right answer, whether or not we work together.
