Sorry if I missed someone, was going to take me off
Right here I think this should be an annual event which I am willing to contribute. Maybe Mike may want to take over and donate a prize to someone on this forum. Here is the suppliers chance who conrtributed the most to the industry, in no order so please do not get offended. this will be a yearly nomination sponsered by SLWCN and whoever wants to contribute. This is not a sales tact honest. I strongley feel something like this is needed, all other industrys have this apart from us.
This will have to be run over a couple of forums and one man one vote . Next year will be a prize but who knows may be this year. If I have missed someone then you have 2 days to nominate, final.
This award I will name against one of the window cleaners who sadley died this year. This is what what the trophy will be named. I am happy to put money not a sales tact honest. I strongley feel something like this is needed, all other industrys have this apart from us.
Hard to say really.
Not sure what my name is doing on there.
You've done a fair bit for the industry yourself north of the border Doug. Although I'm not in agreement with some of the stuff you've done, I do respect your views and your determination to do what you feel is best (even though it may not always come across that way).
For me the list is a lot shorter.
It comes down to
1) David (St Ives) for his tireless attempts to get a new trade association up and running - I feel that the success or otherwise of this is irrelevant. Also his moderating efforts on here are a thankless task but he sticks with it.
2) Alex Gardiner. He has been a great help to many on here irrespective of whether his own products were involved. Ironically, for me, that is one of the best adverts of all. I respect the guy's integrity.
3) Ian Giles. Doesn't make so many grand entrances these days. Used to compete with Neil Kinnock for the title of Welsh Windbag but at least the stuff that Ian said made sense (just joking Ian - you're a good bloke)
. I'm sure he does a lot of moderating in the background.
4) Tosh. Tosh nearly made my shortlist but I wouldn't want him to get too bigheaded so tough luck mate - you're not on my list
5) Doug of DA Services. I'm not totally in agreement but respect the guy's efforts.
6) Ian Lancaster. An exceptionally helpful guy and modest with it. Never a bad word to say about anyone but is happy to help and just quietly gets on with it.
7) Andrew McCann. A good job, good advice. Treats people very fairly. Been a pig of a year due to illness. Hope he makes a good recovery.
So I've narrowed the sixteen down to six which probably doesn't help much. I'm wondering if the poll should be done differently. i.e. for people to mark each name out of 100 and add the scores up at the end.
PS. I thought that Jeff Brimble and Jeff1 were one and the same. Shows how much reading I do doesnt it?
Wot? No Squeaky??!!
