We are a local Roofing Business in Worcester UK. Established since 1971 and currently have 21 staff all in. When ever we have expanded we always look at work crews versus office/management staff. As we hit certain break points we know that to take on more crew staff will require additional office staff to help manage. We then look at the profit of each crew minus the increase in office staff to manage them. We have found over the years that expansion is not always the best if you end up having more staff but no more profit.
Thanks for sharing your experience—it’s impressive to hear from a business that’s been around since 1971! Your approach to balancing crew and office staff is a great reminder that growth doesn’t always mean adding more people if it’s not driving profit.
