Steven me olde china you have defo
Fallen for the misconception haven't
You that Approved work is cheap
Granted Greggs stores are cheap
But I do loads all close to other work
I do on behalf on Approved, maybe in
Newbury there was only a few jobs
But where I cover I easily do many other
Approved work which is very well paid
I do wish I could go into detail
But I'm not one to say how much etc
But I will say this iv worked on many
Contractors behalf , and believe you me
There av been many and John at Approved
As proven himself time and again
but as much as I'd love to chat I'm busy
busy busy , sometimes if you look
at the bigger picture it all comes
clearer , carry on worrying about yr own
affairs we'll carry on doing what we do best!

But it's a big bag when you get a few together.
The first on e or two would be a "loss leader"
I dont do any for any national because I am full with domestics.
And for you Gavlar, earning £600 a day, all day everyday even in the rain ;-)

It's subby contract work and most that I have seen is far from good workmanship it is worked around because of price. I know this, anyone doing it on any scale if honest knows it too
thing is I have nothing against this type of work and would take it on and do it to my standard,  the town where I live has very few national chains apart from charity shops ( which I get called to clean directly sometimes ) if approved has work in st. Neots, and surrounding areas to 20 miles I would like to speak to him or anyone I just can't take on one greggs only. i can see clearly the bigger picture. But it has to be right

I'm sure most see the bigger picture, but like you it would cost me more to park/stop the van to earn from just one Greggs. I don't think I would get a good hourly rate from  5 or 6 local Greggs if I got them, with travelling time.
But then Dean seems to make a good living travelling the country doing national work.
I think its just horses for courses.

That's the thing. If you have a few it may be worth it. Myself, I prefer to charge a good price for domestics and do them when I please. It may be worth it for some though to clean a department store for £7 in the dark.

Well I do work on behalf of Approved/ John Nolan and one job near home looks after my fuel for my vehicle.
And the rest is profit but I am also with another company doing shops, plus doing my domestic houses etc.

Whatever brings in the money to pay the bills.

Very happy with the work that I do. ;D ;D

In my experience John is easy to get on with & quick to pay - what more could you ask for.  :)

No one would take on a Greggs with nothing else near it, the same as you wouldnt drive to a street to clean a terraced front.

But if you were already on the High St you would take it.
