  1. Afternoon all. Can anyone recommend a training provider for the ROLO course? Emailed Millhouse and Ash traning but surely there must be more than two who do this. Also any info into the course much appreciated as I passed the managers cscs this morning and from what I've read it's similar but more site specific. Cheers
  2. What was the role course test like Simon? Passed my managers cscs card this morning and with a couple of nights and 2 hours revision this morning I breezed through it.
  3. Anybody local to Bolton in need of getting rid of woodchip over the next few days? This for my business partner who is in desperate need of some on his domestic garden maintenance and would happily return the favour with some tree work if you can help by taking all the chip you can throw his way. Contact me on 07929500475 and ill pass you over to him.
  4. Yeah. Without fail at least one phone call of an estate with 100-250 houses. Then I always price them up on weekend in the van so ppl see me when they are out washing the cars or just parked up. Plus that one job always leads to two or more as neighbours talk. 😉
  5. I've never used a delivery company I tend to get apprentices delivering them when we are setting up or rained off. We pay them commission so they know see a direct benefit from doing it. I would never trust some company employing doleys who just want toss each other off and drink monster energy drinks on the xbox. Minerva print in bolton, Lancs did me 10k for £99 in colour.
  6. Looking forward to representing my business on Wednesday.
  7. Cheers mate. Got a lot more work to go on. Especially tree work. But I think in today's age, a website, Facebook and Twitter are positive ways to collect new customers. Word of mouth is number one but these above help back it up
  8. I've got the mobile friendly app as well. Looks smarter on desktop tho

  10. Please pal. Drop me his number on a DM. Thank you
  11. Not sure lol. I'm going in to add all last year's work at the weekend, so I'll message you then and tell you. Had 3k hits this year which 8 I've not a clue if that's good or not as we don't pay anyone to bump us up on Google. Get yourself a facebook page as well and get your customers to like it as you go along. Social media defo works for us as the most hits come from the links we post on our page
  12. It's easy to set up with some imagination and computer know how and I can update pictures as much as I like without any cost to me.
  13. I've got a website with them. Was ideal when I set the business up and been changed a few times since and for £10 per month is cheap compared to laying out 1500-2000 on a website when your first starting out. The business cards are good as well.
