After watching Dragons Den a couple of years ago I invested in the Gold plating set up that was shown.

Labam Rooms??? went on their with his Goldgenie and impressed the dragons and got backing. I liked the idea and saw a different market for it so bougt all of the equipment and started practising.

Got massively busy with the national works and it as sat on the back burner since then.

I like having it in the background and when the time is right the set up will come out and be pushed onto the relevant market.

Rob ;D

so what ye plating?

I don't really want to say too much about the market I will be aiming at. I don't even know the market is viable but it cost less than £1000.00 to set up and could be set up for about £150.00.

The most expensive part of the plating process is the chemical and from my point of view it will be something that will be set up and then can be done even while I am out and about on my national works.

Buy and sell some motors - anyone wanna buy a 2008 corsa  ????
How many do you go through in a year mate, i also buy and sell, but the cheaper end of the market (also commercials). Find it a pain sometimes when my moneys tied up in a motor and i can't get rid!! How many motors do you usually stock, i don't usually have any more than 2 for sale at a time.

Yaes it does happen alot but then they get a criminal record and have to pay cost of the damage to the clamp and the fine and a fine from the police, its fine IF you can get away with it. What do you mean by "send them the bill for it"? Send a bill for what?

Shut the f*** up u tart and read the other posts. I aint a bully so dont call me one and get your facts right befor you start running your mouth off, i actually started up a security company but the biggest bit that took off was wheel clamping because it is needed and their are less people doing it. "Make money out of people" well it is pretty hard to make it any other way unless you print it! wheelclamping and ticketing for people that have problems with people parking on THEIR LAND THAT THEY OWN. Their are signs up say not to park there and the and 18inch by 24 inch signs placed at head height, i dont run a dodgey company. Why come on here and start arguments, no need to get personal and call me a w****r realy is their
