I agree , I work on sites which require cscs week in week out and as long as you have green operatives card that works .Nptc and npors works . Can't comment for hs2 or Hinckley which I guess must be a little more full on .

I remember hearing last year one if the university are doing research into the long term effects of arb work on the body. Leicester or Nottingham spring to mind . It would be interesting to see the results . There is probably a road gang or scaffolding forum with a bunch of old guys moaning about there aches and pains.

With rates like this being banded about , Chalets on the beach making hundreds of thousands and people paying 650 pound for a steak with gold leaf on it what can possibly go wrong with the economy. I wonder when its going to go pop ?

Struggling to find labour? Time to buck up?
steve@black replied to mattalway's topic in Business Management
One of my subbies came to me a little while ago and we had a discussion about rates . He has worked for me for over 5 years and it was nice to have an adult discussion about this . This was in his terms based on no rise in five years which is fair enough and not based on the shortage of labour. Fair play to him for a bringing it up . Going to cost me up to another £1500 or so a month across the board . It sounds alot but it has helped me recruit and created a really happy atmosphere . Lads get out what they put in to any company what they put in gives rewards to employer and employees -
I agree with dumper , we are fully aware kit is not covered whilst left in a van overnight . We tend to do the same thing and stay away from mainstream hotels. You would be surprised the cost of manor or hall type hotels are often similar. Quite comical turning up to a posh house with chip trucks , chippers and a few smelly arbs . Again layer security , chain stuff up., back things into corners or park them up directly outside reception . That all said gonna happen sometime I'm sure .

Agree with Bob on this , usefull as a little tipper for tight spots . How often is it we come back with not much chip in the back also . Just add it to the other twenty type of vehicles required for arb and your done .

I spoke with my trailer servicing guy this morning and he has already had an increase in horse box sales enquiries. Going to be a nightmare as stated before 3.5 ton needs to be loaded correctly or you could be in a whole world of trouble . I suppose the price of rubbish old ifors ect is going to rocket in the short term also .

I've got a grcs with a damaged winch possibly for sale , from what I can make out it is only a few broken bits of plastic in the drum , it's been replaced wit a complete unit and was keeping a spare incase of a technical takedown and looking at repairing the drum but will never in reality get round to it . What would a back plate bollard and damaged winch be worth to anyone ?

The winches for £700 will be for sailing and not industrial use are they not ? Although I am not actually sure the GRCS is CE marked so void in the UK should the shit hit the fan so you might as well crack on . Out of interest where do you get the winch for £700 as I could do with one .

What are peoples thoughts , it seems everyone is very busy and more so than ever . The fact for years we all complained of colleges churning endless lads out each year and this de valued a mans wage for sure . Now as it seems colleges locally are not churning them out like they used to climbers and decent groundies can easily command a 30k plus salary which is about time .Even smaller companies in this area are looking for middle management roles at 30k or more a year . Is this the future or is it a post lockdown pre brexit adb bubble ?

Have to say I have a job this Saturday , got to be done on a Saturday 2 teams out on it and double pay for all . I have to say I don't usually go double as Saturday work tends to only be a short day if we work at all . The client was made aware early on this was ok with it .
