I think so. I may be wrong though, I have been before lol
-
£50 a year for the basic membership fee.
I'm still to be convinced it's worth it though.
-
Is he the guy that helped a homeless guy get into window cleaning or something like that?
-
I am a fan of MGWC. I feel they offer value for joey and also keep u up to date on loads of stuff. Plus they need to make a profit as well!
I have been impressed with them so far
-
Yeah lees the guy who does vids on youtube!
-
Sorry to say since Nate sold it, passed it on, it went right down hill with membership prices going right up. It has little to nothing to offer, no official power, a bit of bling for those who need a comfort blanket of an organisation to be apart of.

The Guild was never about profit - it was passed on without any exchange of money. But building up an organisation like this costs money which is one of the big reasons I never got it nearly as far as I wanted to, so I think the increase in member fees was probably the only way to move the organisation forward.
Lee has big plans for the Guild, and up until recently Richard Everinghams efforts have been quite a visible demonstration of those member fees being re-invested in moving the organisation forward. Richard has recently left the Guild though, so the pressure is on Lee to keep that momentum going & find someone with the same enthusiasm and energy to keep driving it forward.

Isn't Everingham the person who stole and used peoples personal info for the advantage of the Guild.
-
Hi Nate - thxs for clearing that up, none of my opinions are directed towards you,
You are beyond reproach, as for where the guild will end up, well that's another matter, my cynical side says to me that the guild is no longer around for the "not for profit" part of its existence....
But less of that, hope all is well in web design mate, ;D

Is this true?
If so I wasn't informed of this.

i think your find that one person is seeking/taking legal advice against lee and the mgwc ;)

Is that why we haven't seen him flogging his self indulgent videos of late ?

I was always a fan of the Guild, Nat did a great job & all credit to him. I'm not against it now, a bit more suspicious & I'll not be committing until some of the issues raised on here are cleared up!!
-
I was a member when nat ran it, waste of time now.
-
There seems to be no information about how this "Guild" is run. Lee Burbidge referes to himself as "the owner". Doesn't seem like the idea of a Guild to me. Wouldn't touch it with an Ionics pole !!! ;D
And i don't understand all them long established cleaners offering free and half price cleans ? I can understand new cleaners doing that. Looks like a race to the bottom to me, never mind raising the Proffesion.
-

You might have a long wait, I've noticed that lee, who normally loves to publicize himself, goes very quiet when asked awkward questions.
I'm sure he's reading this though, in which case LEE, HOW ABOUT SOME ANSWERS?
-
Why knock Lee. I have enjoyed all his videos and I hope he has some more in the pipeline.

Why knock Lee because he makes videos ? Is that what you're saying , is there more to it ? As far as i see no ones knocking his videos, well apart from the screeching sound at the beginning, what is it you're trying to say ?
-
Surprise surprise, silence from the ever loudmouthed Lee Burbrige.
I guess we can all draw our own conclusions from that then.
-
Just spent the last hour looking at his videos, not bad at all. I even learned a thing or two!
When Nat ran the Master Guild of Window Cleaners, I was a member, Nothing wrong with that!
Customers liked the badge and since you had a "New Badge" each year it proved you were up to date and valued your commitment to your profession!
I stopped when someone (Not a customer) pointed out, in order to be a "Master" you had to have students/disciples!
oh! and someone thought it was a joke... After putting him straight, he still went off laughing!
It was a good idea!
Not for me though as there is just me now, I work alone with a small customer base!

You should have stated the "master" is the guild, not the member. It's not a guild of master window cleaners but a master guild of window cleaners. ;)

Its an adverstising cartel that you pay to join you mean. ;D

Dont use steve burbridge for your canvassing took my deposit did ones days work which was all under priced then disappeared saying his Mrs was very ill...then found him putting up pics cleaning...and aint got back to me at all...one word...idiot!!

I am not sure if this person is related to Lee Burbridge and i apologies if his (it was indicated he is) not but they have been getting a right pasting on "window cleaning page " (face book) partly about the guild and canvassing

Bob, i'm not a big fan of Lee. But if you're going to post summat up about him, do some homework and try and get it right. You're posting the name "Burbridge", Lee's name is "Burbidge" . They're different. You should check this out really before you post it up. We should all be able to critiscise people or open them to scrutiny, but lets get it right eh ?

Fair comment cleanclear - 100% agree with your last post

its not my comment, it what was on the fb page and thats why i apologised for any misunderstanding, (Burbridge-Burbidge) im not criticising lee at all but he has taken a lot of stick over the MGWC both on here and on FB and then someone was indicating his brother ripped him off for canvassing? so yes it may be incorrect......Thats why it was more question orientated eh?

You shouldn't post it up without knowing the facts, its just gossip rumour,like you say "its not your comment", but you produced it here. You can't call people then apologise, it doesnlt work like that. You do have some sort of responsability, even legally to make sure what you post is correct. And people say there's no smoke without fire etc... Get it right Bob, unsubstansiated rumours from Facebook are pants. Here's another orientated question (and probably an example of why we shouldn't do them)...........i've heard from my customers there's a window cleaner operating around Cheshire/Ellsmere Port areas, ex gas fitter, chats to young girls and trys to get them in his van ? You heard this too Bob ? I'm not saying its true, i'm just relaying what i heard.
