Rich Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 The novelty will carry you through it for a year, but if theres 2 of you at least one can cover the other. One of the hardest things apart from getting the work and earning the money is shutting off from it. Lots of sleepless nights ahead Good luck, I know you have a lot of customers already, so I doubt you will find it too much bother. Quote

jb-eye Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 I believe theres an opening at //.National Installer.// local to you An "opening" it a bloody sieve. If its not engineers their loosing its contracts.Remember i said my lad was looking for a job in security. Well apparently he said he was amazed at how the big companies keep their engineers in compartments. Domestic or commercials alarms. Large or small CCTV and then fire. Jef Quote Customers!
ian.cant Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 There could be an opening at Secom up this way, engineer was close to be being chucked off site today. Not entirely his fault but he didnt know when to STFU! and from what i can gather at his office, no one there, no one replying to messages left etc! Its cost Secom the next large High Street Clothing shop about to start at Doncaster so i heard today and theres a lot more new stores on the way so theyre gonna lose a lot more! Big companies, you gotta love em. Quote
Zak Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 Well chaps after 17 years in the trade and 1 year thinking about it i finaly left //.National Installer.// today for the last time to start my own company.We have sorted almost everything out and have about 2 weeks work booked in. I will keep you all posted on how we go on. Best of luck. You couldn't have gone about it in a better way so hopefully things will be relatively smooth for you. Are you joining an inspectorate?

I knew you would see sense, but if you even think of going back give me a ring and I'll give you some free counselling Don't forget you should treat the Hcndas differently that the hexes All the best Quote Practice in the morning, practice at night. Practice in the evening, until you get it right. Only make sure you are practising in the right way at the right time for it.
