Duncan Bannatyne used to own a chain of carehomes maybe these were them and he's obviously still got contacts.
There are dozens if not hundreds of companies like UK cleaning who have contracts all over the country. I get them in my shop every week when they are working on a contract in our area and they run out of stuff and have a vac or pump go down.

If they look after their carpets as badly as they look after their residents there won't be much work available.

Trouble is even if you tracked him down he'd be OUT.  ;D

It would make a nice PR story too, I can see the headline now in your local paper.

I have been told by a client who also owns a big top nosh Indian that UK Commercial clean and do his windows 7 days per week are a bit crap but he has not found any who can beat price. £900 per month

The team visits them and a few others in the area at the same times.

We worked this out at about £6.40 - £6.70 per hour  ??? ???

We can not beat this but it is looking good  ;D

His favourite trick is to undercut the comp so when they go under he buys up their remaining custies and kit.

With big business its all about numbers and not something we could or want to compete with.

At the end of 6 /12 months he will look at the figures and the percentages of profit.  If its to his liking so he can sell for a profit I dont think he cares about the Indians windows.

Can you be nice and become a multi-millionaire?

They all seem to be horrible people on Dragons Den, but do you have to be like that, surely not.

I know they all do a lot of charity work and give more money away than we will ever earn, but how hard is it to be decent and fair to other people and make it big?

I shall agree with you on this, they all so stuck up. I mean i dont know what drives people to go to them anyways. I would never do that. They just got no morals at all. The only reason i can think of why peoplewould want to part with 50% of their inventions or companies is because they will get good marketing out of it, as surelyif they wanted some money they can always find other ways to fund business, without having to give away so much.

The Regae Regae man is now a millionaire would never have happened without the Dragons............there are quite a few other success stories.

If one of these people got involved in a marketing exercise to increase the uptake of carpet cleaning in your locality you would benefit immensely.

Why Not have 50% of £1million rather than 100% of £50 k

No brainer !!!!!!

one of my fathers friends sons won investment for his music mixing business and after he got the investment the two investers get really involved and drive things forward.
