Morning Kevin

What are your thoughts to Chris's dilemna?

Rob

[Kev Martin]

IMHO Accreditations are in the main useless.  As long as you have done H&S Certs appropriate to the work required IPAF licence etc all this Safe Contractor, I SO 9000 are just schemes to make money

[Rob_Mac]

I've just had an idea Kevin.

Are you busy tomorrow. Can I ring in the morning?

Chris,

If you want to place products in tescos you, allegedly,  have to bung them some money, so maybe thats the route to go down!

[Lucy bowers]

Paul that's correct you have to pay them to sell in there as for budgets for refurbs that's all out the window they put refurbs and new stores on hold as they trying to save money and not spend

Although I havent  done roofs, I used to work inside.
It wasn't for the store it was the fm company that look after the stores,
You have to meet all the criteria especially H&S wise before you are even looked at, then it's if they are actually after any new subcontractors at the time, because they prefer to keep it as it is.
Better the devil you know and all that.

I have cleaned roofs gutters etc, all you need is a Ipaf licence with exp and some sort of h/s training,cscs card,rams and you are  away no need for all that fancy stuff.

[chris scott]

Thank you all for your responses
I still don't have any information on who to contact regarding getting the work… I think everything else will fall into place when I have this.

How do I price this sort of work ?
Who do I contact?

[jwplasterers]

When I price I just think how many days will it take and who to see is the manager of the store, he will give you the details of email address of the person in charge of this type of work.

Rob

They  (the responses) were like your new website…they lacked content and were badly formatted. But thanks for asking.

[Rob_Mac]

My websites are always a work in progress. They keep me busy.

Are you busy, can you get to the decision makers

Rob

You know I can't "get to the decision makers" thats why I am on here asking for help.

[Rob_Mac]

Change your smart ar*e attitude and grow up with your stupid comments and you might be taken seriously.

Maybe you can't get to the decision makers because you are exactly the same as you are on here in business.

Possibly the best advice you'll ever be given but you won't heed it.

Chris what is your obsession with supermarket roofs ?

Ed

[chris scott]

Ed
Not an obsession with supermarket roofs..my obsession lies with italian trials bike and spanish enduro bikes.
I just think it is an untapped market that with my experience I could make money from.
Rob
I don't think I have a bad attitude generally. I think I am quite amicable.
