Fatboy Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 Only started in this game june 96 (I Think), was installing on my own after the 1st week. Lying bugger you were with Cliff!!

ARJ Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 12 Yrs. First System installed in 93. Started dablling between shifts when working for NWBank and it went on from there really doing family, friends, colleagues etc. Fitted a couple of hundred by the time I left the Bank and been at it full time since 2002. Went to work for a National for a short period but stuck it two months and realised that commercial wasn''t the mystery I thought it may have been. (Wasn't happy ripping people off either). Once you've been your own boss, I think it stays that way ! Mainly do all my own installs & servicing (keeps it personal) - mainly domestic and small commercials & a couple of nationals Co's, Have a support network from other local installers in the same boat and pull in a few subby's when I need to for larger jobs. Enjoy the job, depsite the hours but loathe the paperwork. ARJ A nearly retired previous installer !
