Busy start to year ?
« on: February 09, 2014, 07:28:27 pm »
I've had probably the best start to the year I've had since I started with January being amongst the best monthly totals. I've quoted more work for spring and have have just got a very nice commercial job so this year looks like being a good one. Hows it been for you lot ?

Ah! Ah!  Wrong attitude!  What you should be saying is

 "Over the next XX Years XX Months I am going to do my utmost to be up there or above Rhinoman, M Clean, Blastaway"

from last year to this we have increased staffing from 10 to 40 taking our vans on the road to 20 vehicles

Now also seeing an upturn in Gutter Cleans / pressure washing

Hard keeping track on it all , but now we have moved to a  new office space going to have a push on sales for other avenues within the business.
New website in the pipeline and a couple of tunnel cleans scheduled
Onwards and upwards hopefully

You must have them scattered around the country mate, I've never once seen one of your vans pass us and you live 3 or 4 miles away. More than likely not signwritten?

Lads , I think what Chris contributes to this forum is priceless, He offers advice and his knowledge to whoever should ask. If Chris is struggling for work then we all should participate in giving him employment for a day. I guess like a floater (and not the type in a toilet) I will start . .  Chris are you available Friday 17 February 2017 ? Ed  ;D

I am ...as long as I don't have wear any weird "uniforms" like when I work at M-Clean. The PVC "protective " suit makes me all hot and sweaty and the "safety harness" restricts movement.
