alterEGO Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 It is hard. We are NSI Gold, and have about 350 monitored and probably the same again as Bells only under contract. I've noticed as an engineer when i started back in 96, we used to bang in 2-3 4737 systems in a week, now the domestic side we are lucky if its a 3-4 new installs a month. We are quite lucky however that we supplement our big sister Electrical company. With their many maintenance contracts we supplement them with access/cctv/intruder work. Yes some of its crappy pub t/o but its work............ Couldn't see how you could start a company from scratch in this climate in our industry at the moment. It's hard going, I started in May 2008. I am always surprised by the number of monitored contracts some older firms have, i always think it would be more.

9651 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 We have probably 100 or so fire alarms also monitored on top of that, as you know you win some, you lose some lol Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/29681-getting-work/page/7/#findComment-264448 Share on other sites More sharing options...
alterEGO Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 We have probably 100 or so fire alarms also monitored on top of that, as you know you win some, you lose some lol I'm not knocking it, just as an engineer you always think companies have more then they do. Then when i started up i found it wasn't the case. There was/is a manchester firm for sale, been going 15 years or more, only 90 connections.
