I was selling up and moving there, but a funny thing happened to me.
I tried to sell the company with about £280,000 assets in stock moulds and chemicals. I approached a few people in the business but I did not get a reasonable offer for it, so I sat down and thought, what am I going to do with all this inventory.
Then it dawned on me.
Make carpet cleaning machines and sell them really cheap with all the stock I have and that will use up all my inventory. So I did. They sold like hot cakes.
So again I sat down and said these are selling so well now, what I need to do is to make a profit on them. So I went to all my vendors who supply me parts and got them to supply me parts with a larger discounts. This way I could still continue making machines at this price and make a profit.
Then I bought a wand and hand tool company in Minnesota USA this makes our wands and contributes to lowing the cost of the carpet cleaning machine. This is what got me my green card
The long of it all now is that we can produce an extractor with 135 psi pump 2X3 stage vacuums, wand and hose for £999.00 + vat and a 500 psi with inline heat exchanger twin jet S-bend wand for around £1550 + vat.
So I will be living in the USA before 31 st March 2007 and we will still be manufacturing in the UK
