there seems to be no shortage of freelance/ self employed out there at the moment, and loads of one man bands who get a guy in 'as and when' they need them.

This is fine for those that like to work that way, but for me I like to think that we offer some level of security.

I started the company around 10 years ago. When the father in law had a brain haemorrhage we had to move to be close by to the wife's family and help out (I'm not from this area), I had to leave a good stable job I enjoyed.

I couldn't find work on a paye basis, plenty of offers of a bit of cash in hand for the odd day, but you just cant pay the bills like that. Since then I've always offered 'on the books' work.

We are lucky that we generally keep busy, but we've never let staff go when times are tough and we've always invested heavily in staff training.

 

At the moment we need another guy or gal that ideally has some level of qualification and experience, some work ethic and the ability to turn up at work, on time, 5 days a week - to complete a team.

It might be a tough call this side of xmas but if there is anyone out there who would like to apply for a position, get in touch...

Dean i am only half hour away with a saw mill up on the heads of the valley and sympathize with you,I only use sub contractors for my carpentry and joinery side as no need to fully employ someone,We have a few local firms who employ direct but the wages tend to be quite low compared to a contract jobs,May be worth putting an advert in the local rag as tends to get good response around south wales,I will ask around for you cheers les.

Thanks Les,

Your right, Paye almost always works out at less money per day, but when you do the maths on things like training, ppe, holiday/ down time etc.

will probably be putting together a list of SE guys together for now..
