Would you like to do work for schools?

I disagree, I do work for 3 schools in my area and all of them look after there own budgets and choose who does the work. Don't know if that's just in my area or not??

 

Works the same way with me, as I do the little work required at my kids school. Saves the money for trips, kit etc and I get some cordwood for my troubles.

Just another scam i get at least a couple of calls a month for similar books, diarys, posters, schools, fire, ambulance & poluce services as well as people offering to design websites with google key words for an upfront fee!! Jog on!!

i just hold the phone up to the timberwolf whenever i get one of these calls - funnily enough they never seem to be on the other end of the phone after a few minutes of chiping!!

Same here,I work for several schools,& they just phone when they want small works done,& the area manager calls if its larger works that require undertaking.

My mistake....I assumed the schools/counties ran the same nationwide

Same here in Norfolk, although you have to be on the county councils contractor list. Although not all schools have that freedom. A large portion of schools have the grounds managed by a large firm called Norse who have a sub contract company who do the tree work for them.

I've done loads of work for different schools, and am not council approved.

 

Usually teachers or governors I know have asked me to go and price. None of it has ever come for wallcharts or calendars, but they do ring me every year, bless them!

[Mark Bolam]

Mint mate, I'll be nicking that one for PITA log customers!
