Work suddenly went quiet

[Mick Dempsey]

I have had a worryingly serious lull, thankfully a decent day today of accepted quotes has relieved the pressure a bit.

 

Everyone’s situation is different of course, but if you’re too far ahead you may not be charging enough.

Hope things pick up for people soon and that it is just a blip but I have noticed work slowly drop of since the referendum.

 

I have lost a couple of clients to non VAT registered companies recently which has been a kick in the teeth.

 

People are watching the penny's.

Well, on the enquiries front it is always a little quiet this time of year though the work already accepted is intense.

Everybody here wants their work done before the sacred French holidays season, so tomorrow we are on the coast prepping a Parisian holiday home by smashing the French Connection U.K (FCUK) out of eucs and macrocarpas in order to put sun on the terrace in time for aperitif.

This year I intend to have July and most of August off and enjoy quality time with my 2 young kids so if the phone stopped tomorrow I'd be quite content with that.

I have full confidence that come September the enquiries will start again and bring in enough work for 3 guys five days a week.
