    Default Service engineer work

    Hi all, new to this forum and hoping someone can give me some pointers re finding servicing/landlord certs/safety inspection work. Have been in and introduced myself to loads of local letting agents but the predictable response is that they already have their own trusted engineers. I've recently set up my own company and really need a steady stream of servicing work, in addition to the private customers I have. I seem to be very popular with the elderly community (being a female engineer!) but would appreciate any advice anyone has on sub contracted servicing, etc etc. Thanks all ;-)

    Hi have you tried getting on the British gas website and putting your details down for contracting?

    There's a british gas P.r person on here if you do a search I'm sure you'll find them. Drop them a private message. Good luck!

    Hello Belle and welcome.

    You should be able to play on our insecurities. I knew a female plumber in london years ago who got plenty of work because men felt they could trust her with their wives.

    I deliberately avoided mentioning the fact that Sharon WAS a lesbian, and actually did have more conquests than all of us put together! I think she's in Australia now.

    Cheek! I'll have you know I'm thoroughly in touch with my feminine side! Why, only the other week I was watching a particular genre of film and discovered I am, in fact, a lesbian wrapped in a man's body.
