TACCA, the approved carpet cleaners association, but, 76 full members approved by who? 1 man? 5 people? 10 people?

Seems to be a lack of transparency regarding the set up.

Give it a chance, give Derek a chance.

the committee was formed to help with applicants i didn't know or have not met, seen, chatted to etc...  if none of the committee has heard of someone then it is thrown to every member to shed light on if the applicant is legit or not.
(this committee is in no way running tacca, the running committee of tacca will be formed in good time)

You say there is a committee to help with applicants, then you say today there's not??

Again, who is on the Committee that you spoke of in this earlier post?
Has there ever been such a Committee?
If not why mislead?

Your answer would be appriciated before I consider joining? Thank you..

I'm assuming you haven't actually checked the website out or indeed, the pre-requisite for joining TACCA.

Well I have a 600 psi triple vac and a rotary as well as a 100 psi twin and 3 puzzis, would I qualify?

Hi Colin,

Mine is a very simple question, i've no hidden agenda or axe to grind.

Thank you also for editing your post, I did find 'FFS' uncalled for.

I have a lot more than that and I did not  

It seems there is an anonymous committee   whose function is to provide heresay and opinion , based on what is posted on forums to decide whether to admit someone .

Funny thing is  , an employee of mine gained entry last week , and I trained him , he has never been on a course officially  ,and has no insurance , just 9 months experience working for me .

Anyone can make a website up. Anyone can ask members to join the 'club'.

Mr West would appear to have only been in the industry for less than 3 years and is seeking a Nationwide approval by experienced carpet cleaner's to join his 'club', for free.

All I can see at the moment is one individual (still wet behind the ears), playing 'games' with members applications  Do I like him? Do I dislike him? Shall I accept him, or not? Let's tell them there's a Committee when there's not.

Educated professionals will see right through the 'games'.

Good luck if it takes off, but your starting off wrong in my opinion. There should be a proper transparent Committee formed NOW from day one.

Sorry, but i say it how i see it, black or white

Same here, I thought it meant 'For Freddie's Sake'

I wrote it as I left in a hurry to pick the girls up from school, and knew that I'd have to get rid of the FFS as soon as I got back!

Sorry anyway....

I dunno to be honest. Maybe, if you hadn't mentioned the 'P' word....

At the end of the day its Dereks association. If it was mine then there would be people I would allow and people I would not allow in.

So get over it and move on.

Agreed...

The thing is, the more successful it becomes, the more people will slag TACCA off and pull it to pieces. Horrible thing, is Jealousy...

Mine and a few others thoughts too , I have aired my opinion , some will join , some wont  ,everyone has a choice . Having an opinion , for or against is allowed without being personally villified or mocked in any way.

It is in everyones interest that good and bad opinions of every aspect of every innovation  is aired, whether it be  cleaning methods , machines , associations , marketing methods  or any other cc subject.


You can tell luck from ability by its endurance ,and it does not take much research to see who are the truly successful posters on here ,and who are the ones living in rented ex council houses up to their eyes in finance, and who owns multiple properties , works 30 hours a week or less and truly knows how to clean .

[Phil Taylor]

Why not form a proper Committee now with elected officer's?

Because it's all about POWER. Derek knows as soon as a Committee is formed he will lose his POWER!

Without a Committee, without proper investment, without proper diligent thought it will go no where.

Again, I wish it well, but whilst one man is on his high horse, its a non runner
