Our equipment that we use in this game ain't cheap. It's very rare that the majority of us live within spitting distance of the suppliers and even if we did their not really set up to show us all their products. These sort of events usually give you the chance to go along and see them and touch all of the new products that are out there and give you the opportunity to try out extending the 65ft pole you want to buy but your a bit hesitant as its over £600 and they don't offer refunds. Only to find that the closed length is to big or it bends to much at height but hey your stuck with it now.

If these suppliers , I include Alex in this, can't be bothered to go then why should we? I've heard a few saying they can't justify the cost !well that's not good enough for me to be honest as sometimes I think can I justify the fact that a wfp costs in excess of 300 when you could DIY it out of a fishing pole for less than half?

I've been to 2 shows over the last few years and I've found them brilliant but this years turnout from the suppliers is awful

Apart from looking at all the new equipment and meeting the manufactures and networking with other cleaning contractors and supporting the only window cleaning trade show.

It is a complete waste of time.

Hello,

Charlie gives us about £50,000 a year of work. Does that mean I'm his favourite?

Cheers,

Huw

Charlie

I am calling down (presuming I don't have a project on) for networking. Wanting to catch up with Dave, I will come and say hello Charlie and I am definitely going to make an effort to speak to more people this year.

See you all there

Hi Rob,

You just beat me whilst I was trying to reply.

Now you're going I'm out. Mind you I don't think I've seen u since you ran out on Jason and I in that nightclub near Newcastle!

I'm gonna hold my own event in Cardiff just for the Welsh window cleaners.

Cheers,

Hi Rob,

On another note I had a quote from your mates B&K yesterday.

Don't worry it wasn't for cleaning it was for the landscaping at a new Asda near us.

Cheers,

Huw

Bitch!!!!!

If I don't have anything on I will stay over and we'll go out. Get that job with B & K and then we can get some of that money back we lost at Nantwich last year.

I'll give you a ring when I get back off the cruise.

I want to speak to both yourself and Charlie about pressure washing opportunities. I now he does it but just not as well as me!!! ;D

Lat time I saw you you were staring madly into my van while not concentrating on the road ahead ;D

You wouldn't have wanted to be there today. Big crash and traffic chaos on Junction 23 of the M1. An hour to go a mile.

See you there
