we quoted the NHS tender three years ago and took three months of solid quoting. we reieved a chunk of the work but had to quote the lot to be in for a chance. had the chance to quote this again and turned our back on it

I walked from a job worth £7,500 per annum. About half an hour into the first clean I realised it would take up appox two thirds of my working week. It's the 1st and only time i've let myself be dictacted to on the price by a national.

Two thirds of EVERY week? As in every week of every month all year??

Yes Deeege, it was a ridiculous price that i never should have taken on. Thought I could do it pretty quick, but after half an hours solid graft i realised I was never going to make it pay.

Glad you seen sense and walked before it ended up costing you your business.
