i had the contract to clean my local pets at home i wondered how long it would take before they got a national company in from 150 miles away so if its anything like the homebase next door they will soon be hanging as they wont get done very often bloody anoying though apparantly its a company in wales

[darren clarke]

is the way its going mate, 

[darren clarke]

did u do the one in st austell?

[boldy1304]

just the one in liskeard it was ideal aswell never mind onwards and upwards

[Alistair@AWC]

Boldy,

Have you definitely lost it to a national or could you just have been under cut locally?

[boldy1304]

i doubt anyone undercut me and if they did they would be welcome to it as i did it cheap as i could almost do it from my own drive so no traveling as such but i got on really well with the manager there she wasnt impressed as she knows its probibly not gonna get done very often

only welsh company taking these over
wod be aqua clean / full circle
iv not heard of it as yet but if its aqua clean it will
be getting subbed out to a localish
firm 

[Alistair@AWC]

I only ask because I got undercut locally on a pets at home and was just wondering if that idiot has now lost it!

[boldy1304]

the manager said its the same company that sorts there normal cleaning out and if they sub it she will be giving them my number as they were happy with my work  but i wouldnt do it for a penny less than i was so we will see

I thought aqua clean was a franchise but it really sucks when local guys lose out to nationals

[Gav Camm lammy 283]

not a franchise m8 big firm fr cardiff

[clearlyclean]

there is a couple of guys in manchester trading under the same name,canvass a large amount of my work all it did was increase my work  they went round with a clip board trying to sign people up to a contract people wanted there windows cleaned but not be commited to a contract so lot of them came to me

Clearlyclaen - have you spelt your name that way deliberately?

[clearlyclean]

Typing error

[prestige cleaners]

yeah aqua clean wanted me to sub for them when i first started, i agreed as i wanted to expand, but when i realised how much i would be making (about £10 an hour) i told them to shove it!

[Crystal-clear]

Sorry i aint with it whats this national company cleaner stuff working for minuim wage?
how does it work and how much would they have undercut you by?

sorry just i heard (this is the way it is going) are we in danger of this national company cleaning our domestics too or just commercial?

[darren clarke]

national companys will prob go for just commercial  ie chain stores,  a lot go in cheap and hope to make money on the numbers game,
