Hi all

Just wondered if the credit crunch is affecticing your business we have noticed less call coming in for new work might only be in the electrical feild were people are not spending maybee people spending on security insted.

its dead as a dodo at the minute in security (for us anyways)

its not busy in either the security field or electrical at the moment.

times are very hard at the moment

I have found in the last 4 months we are busier than we have been.

Currently booking into mid august.

But we have been short staffed with the holidays.

whats started .......... ? busier than ever

Pretty busy up in Haggisland too.

Can always squeeze another few jobs in here and there but not really pushing for any biggies TBH.

Hope it stays this way!

C.

Been steady for us aswell with 2 shop installs this week and 4 upgrades pending......if Gardtec can send the right equipment lol!

Not been as busy as last year but still on track........touch wood!

My view is the Credit Crunch a Myth! Just to stop the British spending like crazy and getting deeper into debt.

The media have grabbed hold of it and blown it out of the water to scare everyone. So in effect there causing the slowdown in spending.

Companies I work for still have plenty of work and as busy as usual.

Give it time - house sales and prices are plummeting, companies in the building trade are laying off staff, estate agents are closing offices like there's no tomorrow and new build sites are suddenly starting to become ghost towns, it's not going to get better anyday soon and if it hasn't hit your area yet it soon will.

The good thing is that when things get tight there is more theft and people want to look after what they've got, so security becomes more important - new installs, overdue servicing and CCTV still produce good results.

Of course on top of that there's always the opportunity to keep busy working for nothing replacing G2's that refuse to repond to 'Manager Reset Required' (software fault) and M800's that suffer from random tamper (software fault - iD versions now withdrawn).

House prices arent falling round here, I think if they do there only fall to the reasonble prices that they should be. Dont know any builders who are being layed off, Estates agents got gready and deserve to close, there should be a goverment set fee that estate agents should charge, not a percentage , Estate agents and TV housing programmes are to blame for the high house prices in the first place, Pricing them above the real value, making it fashionable to buy to let, pricing first time buyers outof the market. If there is a crash it and people loose there houses (with the brand new motor outside) it serves everyone right for borrowing out of there limits, you are all warned in the small print, but hey who reads that!
