good morning,well its not actually as the rain god as decided to take it out on the chester area again
im responding to the topic headlined "to all the new guys"
why did i start window cleaning!
by trade im a plumber,i was working for a national company for 15 months feb 08 to may 09
prior to that self employed for about 9 years prior to that a tanker driver for shell uk,so taking this as the start point heres how i got to become a window cleaner.
as a driver for shell we were contracted out to a po transport,that meant we lost benefits,so i started to think of ways to make money and get out of driving so for some strange reason i started window cleaning on my days of,then i picked up work for maintenance companies the snowball kept getting bigger was offered redundency at po transport took it picked up more work including the plumbing decided to sell the window round,9 years later the poles and other foriegn workers came along,more people were getting into plumbing because according to the press we were all £5,000 a week! then the credit crunch,i was offered the job with homeserve,it was actually a good job till they decided that instead of earning money you would earn"points" and because you need to do twice as many jobs to earn earn a lot of points to earn the same money as the last contract we were on i was doing 70 hours to earn 50 hours pay the round came along so i decided to jump and as been mentioned ,this way im earning from day one i did have the experience but rusty,.
i intend to advertise for more plumbing in the winter but will see how it goes
luv bob
