Who works alone and who employs?
« on: October 07, 2013, 08:14:40 pm »
After doing this job for a while now, I do on some days get a bit lonely  :( Hehehe. So ive been thinking about getting a lot more work and taking someone on. Just wondered what everyones experience with employing or working alone is?

Many thanks

I'm strictly a one man band, and that is the way I like it!. I have thought about what I will do when I inevitably reach the point where I am struggling to do the work myself, whether to take on someone and keep on taking more work, or just stick with what I can manage. Really don't relish trying to find someone who will do what I want them to, and more importantly, to the standard I want!. Not there yet though, so no need to worry about that at the moment.

i have decided as of 1st April next year to go down  to 4 days a week, so i am probably the exact opposite of this question :D
will probably sell the work in Chester and keep the more local work
