A practitioner,
not a theorist.

Craig Champion built 1800 Mr Excavate from inception in September 2017 in Denman, Hunter Valley NSW — a civil earthmoving and contracting business he grew, systematised, and is now actively exiting on his own terms.

That lived experience — building a trade business from zero, managing creditors, equipment, staff, and cash flow, then packaging it for sale — is the foundation of everything CBB teaches.

"The business should always be presentable to a buyer. Sale-ready from day one — not as a pre-sale task, but as a permanent operating standard."

Craig operates from a faith-grounded identity he calls the Provision Sharer — a posture of servant leadership, community, and legacy over personal accumulation.
