Hi all I have been a member on this forum since July when I made the break from my previous employer to set up my own company. I had previously worked as a Manager for a reasonably large contract cleaning company in the eight years I had worked for them the company continued to expand however the burden upon myself just increased and my employer would not listen to my constant requests for support and maybe a better financial reward. I informed him in December that if he could not see fit to help me in these areas that I would leave him however his responce was the same as always you wont leave you have been here to long. Surprise Surprise I left in June incorporated my Company in July started proper trading in September. I have one major school contract a few offices and a few other nice bits plus my daytime stuff I still get on fine with my previous employer and this week we ended up quoting for the same job. I told him my price and he said he would price it identical however he remarked that he would still get the job based on his long standing reputation. I got the job yesterday. I suppose there is a morale to this story if you have a good employee who works hard for your company look after them or you will lose them I am not employing at present but this month turned 3k through my accounts not much for some of you guys im sure but pretty good for a new company dont you think?

Nice to hear someone thats starting off their own business venture and is starting to clean up so soon, get it? "clean up", ahhh never mind.
