  1. Large saloon car is more than enough.
  2. I have sold and installed a large system using Windows servers and Milestone Enterprise.
  3. We have more work than we can cope with, looking for another engineer ASAP.
  4. Buy 40 lids at a time and get them screen printed for free.
  5. Try QED they seem to be able to get every type of cable we have ever needed.
  6. Just looked and I joined in Feb 2004
  7. Had one today asking for a price for wire free tat. Once I gave the fixed price he says can you come and have a look so you can quote me. oh and while you are looking could you power down my old alarm as we are having new flooring and there are cables in the way.
  8. Thanks James, didnt want to break any rules posting contact info.
  9. If your local and fancy a change PM me for more details. Thanks.
  10. At least 5 hours as there are going to be a good few PSUs fitted. Depends on the site really
  11. Drivers, cutters & tape Fill your boots and make a small fortune.???
  12. Haha they could always press a call point.
  13. Check the Dd243 menu in parameters, I bet it's set to disable keypad during the entry time. It's defaulted to this if it's a Tyco panel.
  14. We have customer with about £9k of maintenance with us, he now tells me we are 25% more expensive than ADT. Now seeing as I worked for the above at one point I find this very hard to believe, and thaught we where cheap.
  15. I am selling much more than we can fit at the moment. Our lead time is getting longer and longer.
  16. The job we are doing in the morning is a prime example, customer saves a few quid and buys a CCTV kit from Costco. He fits is and then realises its cr@p. Tomorrow we are pulling it out and fitting replacement IP CCTV Buy cheap buy twice.
  17. £1000.00s In fact 10s of £1000.00s
  18. See them come and go round these parts every couple of years. One of the local nobs tried to take over one of ours. Grade. 3 dualcom, 2 visits with URN for intruder & pa much less than half of the market price. I worked out by the time he paid for the URN transfer it would have cost him £100.00 in year one just to win the work, now that's how to run a successful business.
  19. I am an SSAIB man in an estate car
  20. There must be something in the water down that way Chris Murphy.
  21. One of the worst job we have on our books was fitted from scratch by Pete's error of judgment.
  22. Haha I am just enjoying the moment as tomorrow morning it's back to the knob head customers who think fully comp cover means they don't get charged for deleting there own fob in error.
  23. Yes our turn over is great turning that into profit is the biggest task. And then of course paying the least amount of tax on it.
  24. Ok so weeks before I left a large national to start up I had the following in place, this was almost 10 years ago now. Car already signed up Loads of stock All of the tools, ladders etc A years wages saved up in the bank as a backup Loads of contacts potential customers I had met over the years Accountant in place Ltd company set up and ready to trade Docket books, invoice books etc printed and ready to use. I think it cost about £6k to put the above in place excluding the years wage I had saved up. Then a lot of very long hours to get things up off the ground and running and finally never give up just keep going and trying. And get approval ASAP. Would I do it again, NO WAY.
