Running a trade business can be full-on.
Long days on site. Evenings catching up on quotes, invoices and paperwork. Often doing it all on your own.
That’s exactly why The Plumber Awards sponsor Powered Now is bringing its ‘Advice on Tap’ event to Bolton next week, creating a space for tradespeople to get together, talk business, swap advice and enjoy a proper evening off the tools.
Following a successful first event in Cardiff, Advice on Tap lands at Harvester Horwich Park, Bolton, on Wednesday 3 June 2026 (4:30pm–8pm).
The free event is open to tradespeople across the region, including heating installers, plumbers, electricians, pest controllers and other trade business owners.
Expect:
- Free drinks
- Tool marking
- Professional photos
- Honest trade chat and networking
- Practical advice on running a better trade business
Powered Now’s team will also be on hand to chat about common trade business headaches, from admin overload and paperwork to upcoming HMRC tax changes linked to Making Tax Digital for Income Tax.
Benjamin Dyer, Founder and CEO of Powered Now, said:
“We work with so many tradespeople who are now under more pressure than ever before and, with the trades often working alone, it can become a lonely job. When a growing pile of admin and paperwork gets thrown in the mix, it’s no surprise that tradespeople everywhere are feeling stretched.
“Advice on Tap is our way of bringing together the tradespeople of Bolton, and speaking discussing how to run a trade business in a language they understand. Beyond networking, Advice on Tap is all about offering practical advice and reminding tradespeople that they’re not alone.”
As long-time supporters of the Heating Installer Awards and The Plumber Awards, Powered Now continues to back the wider trade community, not just through award sponsorship, but by helping installers and plumbers run stronger businesses off the tools too.
Powered Now’s software is built specifically for trade businesses, helping users manage quotes, invoices, scheduling, certificates and payments all in one place.
