Built by Tradesmen, For Tradesmen
JobQuote started in a garage by a frustrated electrician who was tired of losing jobs to competitors with "prettier quotes". Today, we help over 50,000 UK tradesmen win more work.
Our Story
It was 2019, and David Mitchell had just lost another big electrical contract. The customer chose his competitor not because of price or quality, but because their quote "looked more professional."
That night, frustrated and tired of losing work to flashy presentations, David started sketching ideas for a quoting app that would level the playing field. Something that would make any tradesman's quote look professional and accurate.
Five years later, JobQuote has helped over 50,000 UK tradesmen create over £500 million worth of professional quotes. We're not just a software company - we're tradesmen who understand your challenges.
"I was tired of losing jobs to cowboys with fancy presentations. Every tradesman deserves to look professional."
