THE TRUTH behind “Exhibition Work”.. CARPENTER TELLS ALL | Trade Legends Podcast

E95 | Building exhibitions is a VERY high pressure environment and can come at a cost!! In our first episode of 2025, Mark sits down with exhibitions builder/carpenter Greg of 'buildandbesceneuk' to chat about all things construction & Carpentery building exhibitions stands, music, social media and deadlines. Initially, Greg studied Forensic Psychology at university, but his real passion was building things and being hands on. He found himself building sets and stages for major sporting events around the globe, such as the Fifa World Cup, The UEFA Championship, and the Olympics. Greg goes into detail about what it takes to survive in such a demanding industry, including 20 hour work days, early morning starts, and emergency call-outs in the middle of the night. And Mark sings Gregs praises with his refreshing take on social media and calls him "The Colin Furze of Carpentry" #carpentry #construction #tradesman 00:00:00 Teaser 00:02:18 Greg's Story 00:09:57 Getting Into Carpentry 00:19:36 Working Through Covid 00:23:08 Social Media 00:35:47 Trolls 00:42:11 Deadlines 00:52:16 Future Plans 00:58:17 Final Thoughts Guest this week: Greg @buildandbesceneuk (Insta) Host: Mark @MJTiffPlumbing ⭐ Supported by Tradify | https://tradifyhq.com/ | @TradifyHQ 🏷️ Save on over 50 Trade Brands | https://tradelegends.uk/discounts/
