I wasn't going to bother posting tonight as I am knackered, having just got back from Southampton after what was a very hard but very successful project.
I'm not one for blowing my own trumpet, however as my credentials have been called into question by someone I dont even know (or do I ?), I thought I would give you some background to my experience.
I attended my first Prochem 2 day training course and 1 day upholstery course in 1996, being taught by the much respected Ron Tilley. 2 weeks after that I purchased my first portable - a Prochem Steameasy 400 which cost £1700 with wand, hoses etc; a lot of money then for what we now know is an underpowered machine.
Carpet cleaning was an add-on service for my carpet supply and fit clients, however I was cleaning something virtually every week.
3 years ago I decided to concentrate all my efforts into creating a stand alone carpet cleaning business, so I updated all my training and equipment and now here I am.
I am an LTT trained leather technician and an IICRC certified firm, certified in 3 disciplines and NCCA trained.
I've been in the carpet industry since I was 19, I'm 48 next month, so nearly 30 years. I've been supplying and fitting carpets ever since and I was trained at the Brintons factory.
So despite what Mr.Dave Carver says, if indeed that is his name, I have a fair few years experience, certainly more than some and equally not as much as others.
As I say, not blowing my own trumpet, just don't care for people casting doubts about me.
