Re: The Future…….. is there one for this industry.

Now I prefer to do 4-5 calls a day, relaxed and earning far more than anyone I know who employees people.

You really should have attended the meeting.

Re: The Future…….. is there one for this industry.

I think the point the Dr is making

1 We need to be regulated and certificated as Domestic appliance engineers,as a plumber or electrician is, when kids leave school they could go to college study and leave with qualifications to send a cv out as a professionally part trained domestic appliance engineer and certified.

2 The engineers who are gas safe registered at present and who work on the whole range of gas appliances i.e natural gas lpg and absorbsion refrigeration are more qualified than a general heating and plumbing engineer who would get paid double for call out and labour charges by an insurance company or a private house hold than we do as just being a cooker engineer.

3 I could be wrong but i am led to believe that in most larger organisations the average age of a domestic appliance engineer is mid 50s so as all these guys retire if our profession is;nt regulated to make people leaving school see it as a genuine alternative and being recognised to being on par with being an electrician or plumber who is going to be repairing the whole range of appliances.

4 Possibly Lee8

5 0800 numbers are taking away our valuable chargable workload

Only my oppinion guys for what its worth
