Re: Amazon Installations?
As we well know from the service side, there is no shortage of fools ready to work for nothing (in real terms) , who confuse turnover with profit . I’m busy , therefore I must be earning . So they will sign up .
Secondly, don’t under-estimate the fickleness/laziness of the consumer . If buying through Amazon means not having to fill out there details again …….. :rolls:

Re: Discounted Public Liability Insurance for WTA members
Indeed i did ask them to quote for insuring the business premises/shop as well , separating it out if needed, as i could care less if combined or not .
Was beyond them when i asked though .No matter ; but i can thoroughly recommend SME Insurance both on price and service. Went from £3400 to £1200 . :tup:
Re: Discounted Public Liability Insurance for WTA members
Just got off the phone to them, as they couldn’t be bothered to ring me back with the news they ” don’t specialize in that industry anymore, and won’t quote ” .
He firstly told me they would wait till nearer the renewal date (25/7) before quoting , so glad I chased .
Odd conversation , he was very evasive and keen to get rid of me . It was like i’d caught him looking at porn or something ! Strange .
Re: Parts prices
1 Connect best prices and availability.
2 Qualtex poor stock availability.(though prices are keen)
3 Stock availability , price and delivery lead times.
4 Connect order goes every other day, Qualtex about once a week.
5 Hold accounts for all suppliers.
The late cut-off used to generate more business for Qualtex.
Re: Contract Van hire – any thoughts?
Every few years I ask my accountants the same question ,’rent’ (in all its many forms) or buy .The answer is invariably “if you want shiny new vans every 3 years or so then rent, but as you keep your vans much longer ,buy.”
Bear in mind our ‘new’ van is six, middle one is nine, and I drive one that’s sixteen 😳Re: Advice needed on small residential home for disabled
We had a case recently where the water authority made a vets practice remove the ISE ,but were happy to leave the Miele domestics in service. I don’t understand why .

Par for the course in February isn’t it. I frigging hate February . (also its a stupid word when you look at it, ‘February’ , hate it. )
Now, where did I leave that rope……
Re: 2014 Conference, March 7th, Coventry
Last year was disappointingly short ,which I understand was by popular demand ,but none the less disappointing for me. Presentation was all over by about 2.30/3ish ? After a long lunch as well .
Whats the plan this year ? Same or back to it being longer ?Simon.

Re: Servicenet
I specifically asked the woman if they had any connection with Go-local, and she denied they had.
