Cheers guys,
I am definitely prepared to work really hard at it and do the best job I possibly can, like you say a lot of jobs will be repeat jobs and referrals. Maybe if possible I could reduce the hours I do now in my current job or get another part time job to run a long side carpet cleaning just to be safe, I am going to visit Alltec hopefully this weekend so should hopefully get some sound advice on equipment there.
There are some training courses coming up in September so will try and get booked on one of them also some companies give free training once you buy a machine I have noticed, there is also a convention on at wicksteed park in September so I will defo be going to that, lots to learn !
