thats a very nice van and looks great, but all it is doing is advertising another company as none of your details are on it or even what you do

I think it looks ridiculas,thats my opinion,far too busy for my liking,alot will disagree but I honestly think it's way over the top for a small van,
I have the same van in white like that and blue print in my name and number and what I do and it honestly looks better with not as much crap on it,that vinyl wrap looks awful ???

I can't seem to post the pic ???
This was my demonstrator van in Bulgaria, we sold Ionic Systems stuff over there, so only branded it with Ionics logos, if you look carefully the logo says Ionic Systems Bulgaria

The wrap cost 2k I know its a lot, but it sure did turn heads in Bulgaria, nothing like it had been seen before ;D

White van, blue sign writing - I did that up in Bradford 1990 ;) I just think its time to move on a bit :P
You will catch up one day ;D

So Darren, you were a sales rep for Ionics in Bulgaria and now you are a windowcleaner who's just started out in March and have very little work yes  ???


That's going to wind a few people up. Didn't realise you were so superior.

Bulgaria is still in a deep recession, I sold the van with the business as is. The guy who bought it loved the wrap, that is the reason he bought it.

Hi I have a few businesses in Bulgaria, one of which was importing cleaning equipment, mainly Ionic Systems, certainly not a sales rep, I employed half a dozen people.
No secret that I have just started a window cleaning business in the UK, it was launched in March.
But seeing as you are so interested I used to have a very large window cleaning company in West Yorkshire,  so all in all I have 25 years experience, starting from the good old days of wooden ladders and scrim.
Hope you don't feel too inferior 8)

darran reading a few of your other posts you seem a bit of a slime ball...
trying to say you have contracts and that you will sub work..then you want people to send you references with email and contact number...
I WOULD SAY THAT YOUR TRYING TO GET  CONTACTS SO THAT YOU CAN UNDER CUT THEM...SLIME BALL!!!!

You also done this on april fools so that people will send you their details..why?

Never heard the word slime ball before, perhaps thats what you are?
You don't know me, so how do you know what I am up to.
And for your information, in 25 years I have never undercut anyone. My belief is anyone can be cheap and get work, probably the way you do it I suspect?

Aprils fool Day, just for fun, we are supposed to have fun sometimes aint we ;D

I've looked carefully Darren and the logo does not say Ionic Systems Bulgaria and without a tel. no. what is the point of the sign writing? Though the van seems to have a Bulgarian plate.

I wonder if you are being completely truthful?

Hi
Have a look at the website and download the brochure www.ionicsystemsbulgaria.com you will see  :P

I will obviously accept your apology!

I wish I could make my own sites I would save thousands ???

For me, I'm a professional window cleaner, that's what I do best.

Websites, leave them to the pros,
I also have
www.vps.bg which cost me an arm and a leg ;D

Hi Darren.

Sorry if I made a false statement. I do not want to download the brochure. Maybe it is less than obvious but i cannot see Bulgaria or a tel. no. written on the van so can see no point in the sign writing.

Regards, dd

Hi
You can't really see it, but the website and numbers are on the back. There is wording on the sides, in Bulgarian, so its hard to read and see from the photo ;D

so darran why do  you want window cleaners to send you references with email and contact number if you dont have the work ?

For definate not to steal their work!

You should have seen the reaction on the streets. The Bulgarians had never seen anything quite like it!
The design took a few days, the paperwork weeks!
We had to travel 500 kms to have it approved by the chief of police, and if he decided he didn't like it it would have had to come off! :P

We once lost a number plate, and to get a new one we had to go see the chief of police 500kms away...........

They were the days..........
