Hi Martin

Would love too, but it bights the kind of monney we get for going that far, im sure you wouldent work for it as the work is already subbed to us, but wil keep you posted as it's still a garnteed £300 for a nights work and it's always at least 2-3 nights work.

Mike are you still mass leafleting the 3 mile radius or is it just your man doing what he can inbetween you cleaning?

Sorry Shaun only just seen your question.

I now just use my own man to leaflet betreen jobs, he only get 1500-2000 a week out but I'm finding this to be equal to when I used a company to put out 5k

I'm still thinking of using a company and have him work mainly with me becuase we can really get through a lot of work.

I've just heard of a good advertising media which I'll tell you about the next time we speak.
