Who we are
Real people. Real support. Real results.
Slingshot Marketing was founded by Charlie Shaw and Patrick Carragher, with one goal - to give trades businesses across the UK a better way to grow online.
After years of working in the industry, we saw too many tradesmen let down by overpriced websites, hands-off agencies, and vague promises. So we set out to offer something better: honest service, direct communication, and marketing that actually works.
We’ve now helped over 100 trades businesses across the UK get more visibility, more enquiries, and better results. From one-man bands to growing teams, we’ve built a reputation for doing things the right way: clear pricing, clear goals, and clear outcomes.

Patrick Carragher
Sales & Customer Success
Born in Yorkshire and raised in a family of tradespeople, I’ve always understood this world. I’ve worked in both in-house and freelance marketing, but what I enjoy most is helping real business owners see progress. On top of service delivery, I’m here to listen, offer ideas, and support your growth.
Charlie Shaw
Admin & Operations
Raised in Cheshire, I’ve always been drawn to business development. Since Patrick and I decided to build something of our own, I focus on the strategy behind everything we do, and I’m hands-on behind the scenes, with the boring stuff, like our contracts and accounts, as well as service delivery.

Keeps morale high in the office. Has never missed a lunchtime.
Pepper
Break-Time Schedule Keeper
Loyal, vocal, and always ready for a walk when the workday gets too serious.
The Slingshot story.
From corporate burnout to hands-on growth partners.
We started Slingshot because we know what it’s like to want more than a 9–5. Like many of our clients, we saw a broken system - long hours, unclear outcomes, and very little to show for it. So we took the leap.
We built Slingshot on real values: transparency, clarity, and practical marketing that gets results. No fluff. No jargon. No hiding behind buzzwords. Just the support you actually need to grow.
Start
We left the 9–5 behind and launched Slingshot. We took everything we’d learned and used it to start helping tradesmen grow online.
Early days
From the start, we focused on keeping it transparent and down-to-earth. No bloated quotes. Just honest advice and hands-on help.
Building our strategy
We built our systems around what works. Everything was designed to deliver results, and keep things clear and simple along the way.
Learning from your feedback
Our clients helped shape the business. We listened, adapted, and improved what we offered. Their input helped us get better, and that mindset still drives us now.
Growth
With experience, structure, and strong foundations, we’ve grown quickly. More clients. Better systems. Stronger results.
Today
Now, we support trade businesses all across the UK. We’re still hands-on and still obsessed with helping real people get real growth.
