A space for women to share their stories and support each other. |
Who are we?
Founded by Verity, TradieWives was created to give voice to the often-overlooked contributions of women in the trade industry, offering guidance, community, and resources to help you succeed. TradieWives is more than just a network; it’s a space for women in the trades to connect, share experiences, and find practical support. Whether you’re running a business, managing a household, or juggling both, we’re here to help you thrive.
How it started
Hi! I’m Verity, and the annoying one on my left is Craig 😉
TradieWives started after many years of watching him juggle everything in his Landscaping business based here on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. He would spend days on the tools and come home exhausted and still have to do all of the admin, quoting & invoicing.
With a background in marketing and advertising, I felt like I could offer some help. I left my full-time job to work with him. Once I started, he went from a sole trader to a company, and we started to build a great team, so we were able to have a couple of jobs on the go at the one time. I started him on social media, updated the website, did a crash course in Xero, spent endless hours researching the best apps/software and put procedures in place to help the business run as seamlessly as possible.
How it's grown
With no real knowledge of the trades industry, I wanted to connect with other wives and partners who were working in the same role for advice and support.
One day, while in the shower (where all good ideas are born), I decided to start a Facebook group. I honestly thought nobody would join, and a few years on, I now have over 31k fellow TradieWives in the group to share the journey with!
This idea soon grew to a website, magazine, podcast and so much more. Our directory connects our Trades to Business Support, where they can advertise & network. At the end of 2022, the TradieWives Business Academy was born, a couple of years in the making, but so worth the wait.
Thank you so much for being a part of our journey!
