[jouk45]

i thought dragons den was about pitching your  inventions?

[s.hughes]

I just watched it, he's only been going for 5 years, a real success story. However I would have taken James offer as he was going to use all his team and give them back 15% if targets were reached

[Dean Taberner]

Good effort,

I was considering toning it down abit after a bad week in my personal life,

Bring it on now!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Neil Williams]

Drat missed it tonight, had flipping Mid Summer Murders on because some of the filming was done at one of our customers.
All the best to these guys, they have clearly worked their socks off (probably 7 days a week) to get so far so quick.
Don't know if they'll ever get to overtake OCS though.

theres going to be a influx of wc, just watched another video on there site, he says that duncan will help them achieve being no1 in the country which would of happened any way but would of taken a little longer.

really? you are doing very well and only after 3 years. Do you do all commercial?

[ronnie paton]

iv just looked back and its three years 20 August so a little white lie.

i do both but the commercial side is growing a lot more than the residential and the reason is i hate to door knock!

hi there

interesting pitch, window cleaning, hi level cleaning, pressure cleaning, and deep cleaning.

thye stated they wanted to be the largest in the country, im sure that the guys, at ocs, iss, mitie, and initial are preparing for the attack on their businesses.

its a young company plans to go 1.5m turnover this year, £2m next year and £2.5m the following year, so at that rate they wont threaten the biggest players in the market place.

interesting thing though, some dragons stated that they could quite easily do £1.5m turnover and make no profit at all, lets be honest its tough achieving sales whatever the size of the company.

But you have to remember that your wages are in the turnover so even if you dont get a profit you can still have a very succesful company

[drwindows]

not bad, but all bluster and no substance.

And he did come across as a jumped up geordie trying to blow his own trumpet.

Still, he got the money!
