Self employed, where to work in UK

[Sylvain C]

Hello, I would like to come in UK.

I need informations, I'm a plumber & Heating engineer, I would like to know which zones/areas I could have most customers ?

 

[newbie1]

best area to cover is france
i mean come on honestly in the depth of a recession and your asking where is the best place to come and compete against a uk engineer and take his work .....get real

Ok, I ask my question in a different way.
If I want works, I have to go near capital or not ? ^^

I'm asking you for advice because you live in uk.

Thank you

work is the same everywhere

You will earn more as you can demand higher prices in the and around the capital but then living costs there are higher so it balances out.


Whats up with staying in France?

 

[Garryaca@yahoo.]

Plus you have congeston charge and crazy parking prices and even crazier traffic wardens

 

[Plucky]

No work here. 100% of plumbing work is on hold whilst they sort out immigration.

 

[Spudhater]

We have regulations here, so i doubt you would fit in.............

 

[REDSAW]

best place to wotk in u.k imho. as a plumber would be gersey.
then home for tea.

What do you mean by "regulations, immigration" ?

Plumbstar tom : I like France, but french are morons. For a company too much tax, Social security contributions, our system is rubbish.

i would go to poland they seem to have all the money now,

I will be Honest we have lots of tax issues here, but there is plenty of work here but I would say no more than in france. Its a hard industry to get into if your starting out here in the UK without any contacts or work to go into but that is your choice
