Accredit what?

[JaySmith]

To be honest AA approval IMO would be the best way to go. When you still the costs down over 3 years it must work out to be £50 per month max. If you equate this to the work you may get from it then it has to be worth it. We've got lots of work from AA site, the biggest residential job I think was around £12k to start with followed by another £4 -£5k over the last few years. We were also working at a job today that was recommended to us by said client. When the storms hit we were working for an LA that could only use AAAC.

 

I was a bit sceptical about the AA at first, however the more you learn and see how it can benefit you the better value it seems. Obviously we will never get to the stage where we all have to be AA reg like gas safe but the more people that get on board hopefully the more influence the AA will have and the more money that can put back into PR educating the public about using suitable contractors etc. For the record I only work for an AAAC and have no other attachment to the AA and there are plenty of other good non AA firms out there but the AAAC definitely opens doors. Go along to one of the talks that Paul does and see for yourself it's free and only costs a day's time

Thank you Jay, your post here is much appreciated and it's very pleasing to hear the ArbAC status is working so well for you / the business.

 

Obviously there is still much work to do but its good to hear we are at least getting some things right.

 

Thanks again..

Paul

 

PS the other important thing here is what the business does with the accreditation and the way it promotes itself on the back of it...well done!
