    Hopefully that little change makes more sense to everyone.

    It IS worth adding your details, by letting me or Dave have what you want there in a similar format to what’s there now and it’s FREE!!

    Also the first ever member is offering a discount to customers reffered by UKW in a bid to identify any work recieved through the site, which I think is a great idea.

    If you do have success from it please let us know, we don’t make anything from it but it’s great to see any of you guys/gals getting something from it in real terms.

    Oh and it was an executive decision by Kev an me as Dave was too drunk! 😆

    You had me guessing on this for a while but I finally figured it out what you meant 😕 …………..You have changed the name from “Database” to “Directories”…….right? 🙂

    P.S. I see there is no listing for “Franchises” yet? 😆 LOL 😆

    Well I had assumed everyone would read the article on the frontpage. 😉

    LOL no and I see little point as none of them have ever lasted long enough to be worth the effort. 😆

    Sorry! But I am a ‘blue collar worker’, always start at the back page first 😯 But at least I figured it out in the end, do I get and extra star now 🙂 ❓ or do I have to go to the back of the class 😥

    Superb sparkey, at least I’m not the only one that’s gotten a bit of work through the site and having people tell me about it.

    Just proves it does work.

    Re: Directories

    On the back of going on and on about this there’s been a few more people who have requested and had their info put up in the directories but I had a thought about some of the text used.

    Essentially we’ll use the information that you give us, that means that the better your blurb is the more targetted the work is to what you actually want to get. This is the philosophy behind e-Jobs as well so that you don’t end up with a Faber hood, or an Indesit if you don’t want to be repairing them as we all avoid certain brands. This is why I put the bit on the fax form for e-Jobs that lists the brands that you specialise in, that way you get the work that you want to do, are already doing most likely, are familiar with and therefore the chances of a first time fix are far, far higher. Better for you, better for the customer.

    So please, if you are writing a bit of blurb for the directories take the time to tap out a paragraph or two explaining what you do, list any agencies you hold, if you are a UKW subscriber, the fact that you adhere to the charter, if you’re a DASA member, RETRA member etc. It’s there to promote you lot as quality repairers that know your stuff and are professional in what you do, make the most of it as all it’s costing is a few minutes of your time.
