What area do you cover fella, as they seem to be working out from the head office base so you might be ok for a while.

At least you won't have JW's as competition - we don't believe in the Trinity!

 

Seriously though, go and see the folk who manage the blocks of flats you do and explain that they have an awful reputation for quality and go in direct.

I think what he is saying, is that it IS the managing agents who are doing the window cleaning themselves now, rather than use outside contractors.

If more and more companys do that, it will be bad news for us.

[AuRavelling79]

Ah, gotcha! I was thinking that some flats have their own residents comittee that give the work to whomever they choose.
