Firstly a lot of our business comes through FM and Managment companies that have approved contractor lists, if your not on these you don't get a chance to quote, we also have some 50 cleaning companies that we have exclusive agrements in place to carry out all their window cleaning, I have bought my local areas to my offices as well to pull any local jobs in through the NWC website
As a rule most of the jobs that we do are to big for most window cleaning companies, and most jobs that will come through the site will be to small for us, for example we are working on a tender at the moment for 32 shopping centre's across the uk, we would not want to be being asked to quote sites with single cleans under £300
On another note if a site like the one stuart has had come through and the contractor could not take on the work we would offer to assist or take on the job and give them a kick back on the works
I think I understand your question
Yes we are a growing company and look at works like the one Stuart had come through as a lead, but it went to Stuart and not to J.V. Price,
We have 4 people in our sales team and are flat out 5 days a week carry out quotes and surveys, this shows that there is plenty of work out there to go around.
We have set this website up to help the small firms and to build a network of window cleaners nationally so we can compete with the national brands as a team, after the time and money spent on this project, I want it to work for all parties.

The op has put a possible job up on the forum,can you tell me is that the sort of job that your company would normally look at obtaining for your business?
The reason i ask is that i presume that you are still active in gaining new contracts,so couldn't there be a conflict of interests eventually from some of the work coming through NWC?
So what you are saying is that the bigger the NWC becomes and the more work flows through (which i believe it will) then your sales team will not be quoting or chasing work that is meant to be the sole responsibilty of the contractor signed up for each particular area?
So how can you grow your business without eventually having a conflict of interest?
The reason i ask this is for the purpose of understanding how it all works so that maybe joining the NWC becomes a possibility.
