I look for profit not just turnover, easy to get turnover, it is the profit that counts

Ok then I made a mistake    the reference to £80k turnover was actually £80K taxable profit.

I went Thursday, was hoping to see Ian (windowwashers) to catch up & have a beer  .
We went round twice, got some freebies, left after 2.5hrs.
Got to meet Danny Pain & Kev R, and a few others which was great

I had a great time, there for the two days. Got to meet loads of people and put some names to faces.

Had some really interesting conversations and saw some good products too. I really liked the new Brodex  24ft aluminum pole which was light, rigid and comes with a three year guarantee.  Thanks to the Unger team for lunch and some cracking freebies.  Nice to see Ionics and hear straight from the salesman that the pro 10 is good for cleaning dust off internal glass but nothing more!!! lot of money for a duster!!!

For me the best stands and information were provided by Unger, Omnipole, Aquafactors, concept 02, brodex and CFR. Bought A pack of Slip n slides too, a good product (already used today)  In the hall of shame were Ettore as there was nothing to see or even pick up.

Had a good social on Thursday evening over a curry and a few beers too.

The seminars were good and bad but mostly worth attending for me.

I am involved with window and carpet cleaning so there was a lot to see and do for me.

I will be going next year for sure  

[Jeff Brimble]

I thought Windex was 2 yearly ? or is it back down south ?

[Kev R]

You may be right Jeff, this was the first one for me.

I had to go & missed the Fastest Window Cleaner comp (I was not the driver & he wanted to go).
I tried to put Bruv in for the Slowest Window Cleaner Comp...... but they said they did'nt have one..... he would have won hands down as well ...

I was at Windex on the Friday, I'm suprised nobody said hello to me.

My impression of it?  Has not got any better since two years ago.  Very smalltime and not particularly interesting to be honest.

I spoke to somebody on the federation table, can't remember what his name his, he was alright.  I also saw some woman who apparently runs the show called berrol.  Now she's a looker.  I can understand why they had her on there, really draw the crowds in lol.  Talk about a face for radio.

Lots of carpet cleaning things there as last time, in fact I would have called it a carpet cleaning show more than a window one.

Some idiot in-your-face bloke was trying to hassle me into the window cleaning competition, until i told him that a competition to clean windows was quite possibly the stupidest thing I have ever heard in my life.  He looked offended by that, but I told him that the very idea of it is insulting to the window cleaning trade and he should go away and re-think his life.  Ridiculous.

One area that I thought was a bring-and-buy sale until I actually saw it was for some weird and not very good looking water-fed pole gear with some carbon pole that you clip together bit by bit or some other such nonsense.  A freaky looking bloke with a ponytail and a thick american accent was trying to persuade me it was the best thing since sliced bread.  Not convinced.

What else did I see, erm... a nice jaguar parked outside the door.

All in all, pretty rubbish as expected.  If it hadn't been in the same town where I live I would not have bothered, and even then it was not worth the effort to go.  You can see all there is to see (and there is not much of that) in less than an hour.
