many on here will know i took a year out and started work again in november,found out today that a member of staff has left with 4 days notice,owner of the company says its not worth continuing and will shut the company down at the end of feb!!!!!!!
only made just under £1 mil in its first year of trading

Sorry to hear the news mate

Seems a little strange to shut the company down just like that?

Sorry to hear that mate, hope you find another job

not so good news mate!
I am sure you'll think of sommat real soon!

Sell the rights to your body for medical testing.

You could make a mint each month

what hippy means to says is, he'll give you £3.50 a month to be his personal slave.

hard luck john, however im sure a handy guy like yourself will get a job soon (testing food springs to mind as a good possibility?!)

all the best.

mmmmmmmmmm food,been discussing with one of the peeps there and thinking of buying the profitable bits of the co,keep ya all posted

1 milj pounds isn't bad but offcourse it al depends on the market the selling costs etc..

how many you where in the co?

if you "know" from many markets you will find soon work.

TKS

or just set up another doing the same thing. What were you doing anyway? The guy who left probably knew something.

A lot of the companies I do work for seem to think that its a requirement of business that you start on Monday and lease a Merc on Tuesday whether they can afford it or not, they deserve to fail.

Steal the c**ts customers and go for it yourself.

ta for all your helpfulll sugestions,and you hippy,i,m "resting" tommorow and having a chinwag on friday with one of the others,trouble is i know zip about what i,m doing but its very profitable.
pete,i was doing "ground investigation"drilling holes under buildings to check subsidence and for new buildings like heathrow t5 and wembley stadium hotel,plenty work there if anyone is a qualified geoligeist

I'm a qualified geologist (I have a degree in geology anyhow if this counts). I just never practiced and ended up in the IT industry. Am I missing out on something Conrod ?

you never know,wana job?

probably a bit rusty on that front now conrod. Bit of a big blag to advise people on whether their buildings are about to fall down, when you haven't looked core samples or microscope sections for over 15 years !



But maybe I could brush up.................
