Loads of new businesses

Is it only around me that seems to have loads of new businesses start up.

I swear I see at least 1 new van everyday at the moment!

A lot of my customers telling me stories that few of their office ppl they have changed theirs job from an office to plumbing ... Loads of ppl doing those quick NVQs ... But your quite right, I've seen quite a few too

 

[Millsy 82]

A lot of them are in brand spanking new vans as well!

 

[ShaunCorbs]

yep same round here been the same for about 6 months tbh

either that or a load coming in from out the area

 

[hammers4spanner]

Always been like that here

They'll last a year or two and then disappear as quickly as they arrived.

I've always seen a new van every week but for the past month it seems to be every day.

I have seen a fair few too. Nothing wrong with a bit of healthy competition, more people doing sub standard work just helps the good guys stand out from the crowd. That's not to say all new businesses are going to do substandard work but I know of a couple of people start up on their own recently who just don't have the knowledge or skills to work for themselves just yet. Everyone seems to think once you have been doing plumbing for a year you are good to go and can tackle everything, these people get found out very quickly.

Why is there lots of work about? As good as its been for a long time

Plenty of new businesses starting here. Not many still going after a year!

Every idiot round my way think they can plumb. Plenty of work at higher than normal rates putting things right. Most of them I wouldnt let them take a book back to the library. They want their tools taking off them.

It's alright saying they'll be found out and gone soon. Once those installs have been done, they're gone. There's nowhere near the money in rectifying work.
It was like that round my way, not so much now.

 

[SimonG]

Enough money to keep me happy on top of my usual stuff.

Remember.....

A plumber is for life and not just Christmas


PS 7 months tonight crimbo eve.

May just ignore their rates and invoice my own
