New to the trade.....

[stuart010378]

Good Morning,

I am on the borders of South Hertfordshire and North London and considering starting my own plumbing business. I am currently doing my NVQ in plumbing, but due to not having any experience in the trade it self, finding it hard to even get company's to give me a though. Personally I do like being hands on and I think that I have a good approach to how I work and my abilty.

I have a few friend's who work in various trades (electrician,plumber etc) who I am considering asking to perhaps get involved with work I am doing. However, they are employed so have their own jobs so calling upn their skills may not always be something I have the option of. So I am looking for local based people within the trade to:
a) Build a working relationship up with and increase my contacts
b) Involve new contacts in work I will be involved with
c) Increase my working knowledge while working and being involved with new contacts.

Starting my own business is something I have thought about doing for sometime and I have already started the process. I do hope t hear from some local people who may be interested in getting involved.

Stuart

Difficult time at the moment with a lot of site plumbers being laid off, I went self employed 3 years ago and things are now getting established, it takes a while to build a reputation, most customers prefer somebody who has been recomended to them, this is where a lot of my work is now coming from, hope this helps.Good luck.
