Keiran Yates is the founder of Trade Apps Ltd, launched in 2017 with its flagship product, the Gas Certificate App. Starting his career as an electrical apprentice, Keiran expanded his expertise by training as a gas engineer, uniquely positioning him to address inefficiencies in the trades through innovative digital solutions.

Beyond his entrepreneurial ventures, Keiran has a deep love for rugby and playing the guitar, interests that complement his dynamic lifestyle.

With Co-Host Pete Withers, through this platform, he explores current trends, challenges, and the future of trades, bringing invaluable insights to an audience of trade professionals and enthusiasts.

Pete Withers, better known on Instagram and YouTube as Plumber Tales, has 24 years of experience in the plumbing industry across London and Essex. He has built a solid foundation in the trade. Twelve years ago, he ventured out on his own, embracing the challenges and rewards of self-employment.

However, three years ago, Pete felt his passion for plumbing waning. In search of a rejuvenating spark, he turned to social media. It wasn't just a new venture—it reignited his love for the craft in unexpected ways. This platform opened the door to another passion: stand-up comedy and podcast hosting. Now, he blends tales from his professional experiences with personal anecdotes, sharing laughs about everyday life, work, and my upbringing.
