I'm Chris Sadler
Hey there, I’m Chris Sader, a certified Trade Coach and the brains behind Kimbletech Ltd, a renewable energy installation powerhouse based in High Wycombe.
In just 18 months, I supercharged my business, catapulting it from a £300k annual revenue to a staggering £3 million. We’re talking solar PV, battery storage, and EV charge point installations.
That’s a tenfold surge in business, complete with a dynamic team of 18 staff, a fleet of 10 vans, and a slick new commercial headquarters.
But here’s the secret, I didn’t do this all on my own. Coaches and mentors played a pivotal role in my journey, and now it’s my turn to pay it forward.
I’m on a mission to help fellow tradespeople sidestep the common pitfalls of running their own companies and propel them towards unrivalled success in the trades industry.

A positive attitude is an absolute must. I got to where I am today by staying positive, believing in myself, trusting the process and not being afraid to get out of my comfort zone. I took action and always followed the advice from my coaches and mentors.
sessions take place?
The standard programme is delivered over Zoom and offers the best value.
In-person sessions are also available at a premium.
teach my competitors?
For some people this is difficult to grasp; why would I give away all my secrets and strategies? Quite simply, the market is huge and there is plenty of work to go around.
There are too many cowboys in this sector, so I would rather build my network and have friends in the industry where we all work and sell to the same high standard. I’m also a big believer of paying it forward!
I wear multiple hats
Kimbletech Ltd is my family-run renewable energy installation business, located in Buckinghamshire, UK. I built this business from scratch, and I want to help you achieve the same.
My journey began with a Mechanical Engineering degree from Nottingham University, followed by a stint as a design engineer at Aston Martin, working on their luxury sports cars.
While I cherished my time at this prestigious British brand, I could see that it wouldn’t lead me to the financial freedom I desired. So, the idea of running my own business started taking shape.
Starting Kimbletech
At the age of 27, I made a pivotal decision to become an electrician and laid the foundation for Kimbletech Ltd.
Those early years were a period of intense learning, honing my skills, and tackling challenging electrical tasks.
After five years, I took the significant step of hiring my first apprentice, marking the beginning of my business expansion.
Year after year, I steadily added more team members, training them to become qualified electricians.
Our work was top-notch, and customers were thrilled, but the business was struggling to make money with no obvious solution in sight.
I then stumbled upon a business training course and decided to invest in my own growth.
It became crystal clear to me...
Tradespeople spend thousands on courses and qualifications to excel in their trade, but never undergo business training to educate themselves on the essential aspects of running a profitable business.
My personal development journey went into high gear, and within 18 months, I transformed Kimbletech.
We evolved from a modest electrical installation and maintenance company, earning £25k per month from a shed in my parent’s garden, into a robust renewable energy installation business with a monthly turnover of £250k.
from £25k a month to a monthly turnover of over £250k.
My journey wouldn’t have been possible without the guidance and support of my coaches and mentors.
That’s a tenfold growth, boasting 18 staff, 10 vans, and a shiny new commercial premises.
They continue to share their knowledge, wisdom and network, and they hold me accountable to achieve my own goals. Now it’s my turn to give back and pay it forward.
Teaching and coaching have always been part of my DNA, so it was only natural to create Kimble.Coach.
This platform is designed to inspire fellow tradespeople, encouraging them to take action, invest in themselves, and learn the blueprint to building and scaling their trades businesses.
My mission is to help others avoid the common pitfalls that many tradespeople encounter when running their own companies and guide them toward success in the trade industry.
