Title: Local company gone down.
Post by: Stephen.C on August 20, 2013, 07:19:51 pm
I had a call from a company in my home town saying that the window cleaners haven't been for months and they can not be contacted.
So would I like to give them a quote. The company in question that hasn't been for a long time is in liquidation, (Confirmed by companies house) but I see them on the road daily.
They might well have started up again but surely its illegal to drive the vans with the company's livery name on it which is in liquidation?
I'm not sure if the lads that work for them have gone on their own but still using the vans or still trading waiting to be wound up.

Indeed Andy.
Most shiners in Andover are picking up bits and pieces from them, I know that most of their work was commercial.
unless the guys who are working in their vans can keep it going most of that work is coming back to the market.
Fair play to the guys to try and keep it going.

They probably went down because of all the sodding Jehova's working for buttons whilst claiming benefits and under cutting hard working folk, and also giving them plenty of time to bible bash a bit ;D

Not wanting to get into a row over silly comments, but many of us "Jehovahs " have window cleaning heritage going back decades.
