So, if there is demand enough to be booked for months ahead 'consistently' then why not half that and employ more people to give a shorter turnaround/better service...?

Before we know it, it will be 2015 and it all starts again.

We're either fairly busy, very busy or mental.

I suppose if we took no more work on now we'd see ourselves through to the new year. However the purchase orders keep turning up. Managing clients expectations is key. Some get lost in the process, though this is rare.

We have always endeavoured to look after our existing clients. Most will wait, though some will always have real emergencies, (highways, MOD, nuclear, etc) and so we tend to always retain an element of flexibility.

We have about 4-6 months of work in the pipeline so I hope none of this comes through to be done before Christmas. God help us when the mad March spend kicks in.
