Hi guys I am Rich from ShireOaks Cleaning covering oxon, warks and northants!
Was last on here 3-4 years ago when I decided to sell up and follow a career in optics! What a crap idea that was lol ! Used to trade as A&R windows back then!
Just wanted to say hi and after a little read have noticed this forum has certainly changed  since I used to be on here!!
Will be wfp and trad!! Due to start 1st March and can't wait to get out there canvassing and working for myself again!!

Cheers buddy I actually can't wait!! I think all I have learnt since working for a large optical store is to be more aggressive when it comes to business and getting work lol!! Can't wait!!

and follow a career in optics!

What's that just out of interest?  Glasses?  Or the things you get measures of whiskey and vodka in?

Welcome back to the forum mate.  My brother works for a well knows high street opticians, tried setting up by himself with someone he works at the same store with an online optician dispenser thing.  Loads of paper work and registering with companies house etc, and after a year of researching and setting up and only got 1 customer.  It was the company he works for  ;D  He kept his job, but his partner got the sack...

Nice to have another friendly contributor in the forums mate.
