Splitting hairs here but isn't Alma rd more Bournemouth?

He called me today aswell. His number is 07733045397. He's only open from 5-8pm. He also says he's selling pure water for £2 per 100litres and r\o systems from £500. Will pop down there next week to check it out. Bout time we had someone in Bournemouth. I've heard SCS in Ferndown are going to be a distributer for Ionics though.

We all have to start somewhere chaps Gardiner poles had probably started from humble beginings and they are now the most popular & trusted wfp supplier around imo

Well the first WFP in Dorset was AQUAPOLE and I all most paid 45k BUT when I saw the Profit and lost account, I ran Lol I personal cant see them getting 90k for Encopass, but like anything you just never know! why are they selling up! my office manager works for them now, and he is very good at what he does, so from me reading of the situaction, they fatten up the business to sell off!

So was you the chap we saw this week just gone!

Aquapole's Bruce Barrons was one of our first customers back in March 1998 when we kitted out an old Suzuki van for him.
We continued supplying him until he retired.
Their was a serious reason why he stopped window cleaning - his young son died in tragic circumstances, and Bruce realised their was more to life than all work.

I know him( i bought work of him) but not very well and I know others that know him well and I've never heard that. Dont get me wrong I'm not saying that isn't true but I'm just surprised I've never heard of it. I've met met 2 of his kids and his wife so he must of had 3. Very sad.

Yes does surprise me as well, as his ex employees have worked for me, but Bruce does keep his cards close to his chest, so very sad indeed
