Scratching each others backs ?

[Shane]

I reckon I know a few round here (and know of most). Theres one guy I've shared monster jobs with and we both put in good words for each other if we are too booked up to meet a 'short' deadline from a prospective customer. Another guy I sometimes hire my stumpgrinder to. We often discuss enquiries and flag up dodgy customers, TPO evaders etc.

 

It's good to have people you could call on in times of need - and to share ideas/resources.

 

In fact, Mr. Jammydodger, I'm sure weve met a couple of times - was it Bognor 2008?

 

Good luck and keep up the goood work.

many of the guys in this part of the world seem to be suspicious of each other which is a bit of a shame as its not what I'm used to.

I often struggle to get a wave back from certain guys.

 

having said that there are some good eggs.

 

Im sure that this is pretty much the case everywhere tho?

Indeed we have! You even took the time when I rang you to help me with a phone number for the spares I need for my stump grinder, top bloke

I quite often team up with 3 of the local companies to me

and we help each other out on bigger jobs or lend each other bits of kit

 

But I have also found some others to be hostile when they see you

[WoodED]

Just a quick question! Does your tree company help out other tree companies that could in a different circumstances be competitors ? Your experiences good and bad please

[Mark Bolam]

Much better to get on, and has others have said team up on bigger jobs.

 

There is one guy round here whose face contorts with rage whenever he sees another tree firm. Let him have a heart attack, I always smile and wave at him!

 

Does he think he can do all the work in Kent?

Often have done so as it saves on expensive purchases of business items. A certain local person was one direction paid work so he is not involved now.

 

It makes some people nervous as unsure who is tendering for the same work contracts.
