Title: Newbies
Post by: R W C on July 29, 2009, 08:46:37 pm
There seems to be a lot of new people posting lately, is this the norm of this time of year to have more people starting up in this trade and do they fizzle out over time or do you see most of them stay around, I think new people starting up and have the innitiative must really want to be in this trade, I was a newbie this time last year along with a few others but i see some of them still posting, so is it the norm or is it the financial situation,

over the years ive seen lots come and go but over the past year ive seen even more start up, i think it may be down to the financial climate it doesnt cost a great deal start up.

For many years what put many people off was using ladders with wfp this makes it more appealing to people plus the money is good

always an influx of new window cleaners at this time of year, and as soon as it turns a little cold most vanish. I am loving the health and safety side right now... All is good, apart from bloody swine flu
