THE FAMILY BEHIND TRADE OFFICE
A trade passed down.
Knowledge passed on.
From Lee Moran, founder
The Moran Roofing name goes back to the 1960s. My great-grandad Mick taught my dad roofing, and my dad taught me. Dad took over the family business in 1981, the year I was born. I took over in 2017.
I later put both my son and daughter through college to learn roofing. My son now runs his own roofing firm. Passing on what we know has always been part of our family.
I thought I could run the business better. Coming off the tools showed me how much I still had to learn. I knew roofing; pricing, cash flow, paperwork and managing a business were a new trade. Finding support was hard.
My 28 years in roofing include nine years off the tools learning those lessons. That’s why I’m building Moran Trade Office: to help young tradespeople bridge the gap between doing good work and running their own business, with support I wished I’d had.
Whether you’re starting out or running a team, the aim is the same: clear explanations, useful tools and the confidence to take your next step at your own pace.
Built from family experience. Made to help you build your own future.

Your information
The public page can be read without signing in. The free quotation and starter guidance require sign-in. Full office tools require an eligible subscription, activated trial or owner access. Free setup collects your name, account email, trade and business stage to provide your account and help improve Trade Office. Age band, website, paperwork challenges and marketing updates are optional. We save your starting-point answers, action progress, reminder records, free quotation and any interest or feedback you submit. Business knowledge checks store your latest score, attempt count and date per topic. The CV builder stores the personal and work details you choose to enter in your account; it does not publish your CV or send it to employers. Optional marketing consent can be withdrawn in the interest form. Calendar alerts require you to import the downloaded reminder into your own calendar; we do not send automated reminder emails or texts. We use sign-in identity to control access and associate saved business profiles, job records and uploaded logos with the user who saved them. These records are used to provide the workspace and prepare requested documents. AI help sends the question, business name, work type, scope and survey notes to OpenAI. Automatic advice can be switched off. Live research sends only the research details you enter. Stripe handles subscription checkout and billing.
