Andrew Redding's Companies: A Track Record of Success
I’ve spent the last 15+ years building real businesses, not concepts, not ideas, but boots-on-the-ground, trade-based companies that employ real people and deliver real results.
Some I’ve founded. Others I’ve partnered in. All of them have taught me what it actually takes to build something that lasts and more importantly, what happens when you don’t get it right.
Here’s a look at the businesses I’ve helped build, lead, and exit.
Andrew Redding's Companies: A Track Record of Success
I’ve spent the last 15+ years building real businesses, not concepts, not ideas, but boots-on-the-ground, trade-based companies that employ real people and deliver real results.
Some I’ve founded. Others I’ve partnered in. All of them have taught me what it actually takes to build something that lasts and more importantly, what happens when you don’t get it right.
Here’s a look at the businesses I’ve helped build, lead, and exit.
Valley Air-Conditioning
Founder & Owner (2009–2022)
Grew to: $10M+ revenue, 50 staff, 30 vehicles
Valley Air was the start of it all. My wife and I launched the business from our home in 2009 with nothing but a fax machine and a big vision. Over the next decade, we scaled it into a multimillion-dollar operation with a custom-built HQ, a high-performing team, and a reputation built on reliability, quality, and trust.
Valley was more than a business — it was our platform for learning how to lead, grow sustainably, and build strong systems from the ground up. It’s where I learned how to run a real business, not just work in one.
Sold and still operating today.
Valley Painting & Maintenance
3 Equal Partners (2013 – 2019)
Grew to: 15 staff, thriving commercial contracts
This was a business I helped build in the background while two experienced painters ran the show onsite. I brought the business systems, structure, and financials, they brought the technical expertise. Together, we built something solid.
Eventually, the business no longer needed my input. That’s a good sign. I exited on great terms, and it’s still going strong today.
New Edge Electrical
Co Founder → Exit Partner (2015 – 2021)
Prime Wholesale
Founder
Grew to: Rapid growth, multi-seven figures
Founder & Lead Coach
Active | arcbusinessdevelopment.com.au
ARC is the culmination of everything I’ve learned, the wins, the mistakes, the near-burnouts, and the breakthroughs.
After years of building and selling trade businesses, I realised my real passion was helping other business owners cut through the noise and build something that actually works. Not just financially but in a way that supports their goals, their family, and their life.
At ARC, we work with trades and service-based business owners who are ready to stop winging it and start leading. Through coaching, business groups, and our 10 Fundamentals framework, we help you build a business that’s structured, profitable, and sustainable without the fluff.
Ready to Build a Business That Actually Works (And a Life You Don’t Want to Escape From)?
You’ve got two choices:
1. Keep spinning your wheels, hoping things “settle down.”
2. Or get clear, take action, and back yourself with someone who’s been there.
I’m not here to convince you. I’m here when you’re ready.
