PeterJames Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 All I would say is working alone you will have several overheads like vehicle, fuel, insurance, (vehicle and public liabilty), NI, advertisements, and thats just off the top of my head when you want to go on holiday you dont get paid £19,500pa is not such a bad deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 OP Id want to know how much work you get without the work you get from the firm. Id also say that the firm employs you and rightly expect certain things, However. there are plenty of stories from those that have have left and been a success. There are more from those that have failed. Its not a simple decision, granted you may feel that the work you are doing for someone else is good.... but you need the work in the first place. Ive met many engineers over the years that think a 2k system is 1.5k profit. It isnt im afraid. Im not saying you shouldnt better yourself, im saying be aware of the facts before you try.

james.wilson Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 48 hrs will fix that, 24hrs in most cases. Major X.x update will cause it. Only because browsers cache date and skins for a set time. securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

9651 Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 We had an engineer who was an active member here a few years ago. We at the time were a small NSI gold... 4 engineers and x2 apprentices. He was doing loads of work for friends and family, got work coming out of his ears. So decided to go it alone. All that work he had backed up was probably cleared in a month, then nothing.......He did poach a few of our bells only contracts, and by that I mean around 5, but most have come back. Not sure what he's doing now, last I heard, was he was in the local shopping precinct conducting surveys! Not sure what for like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
