    Shameonyou,

    Do you really believe that you can learn a skilled trade in 14 weeks? which is a 4 year apprenticeship, if you do and have got 20-30k to waste, then your the type of mug Reactfast are looking for.

    Ask them for a breakdown of the turnover for each franchise, the 14 week plumbers turn over not the time served guy's they've got working for them. See how well they do!

    Most of Reactfasts engineers on the road are sub-contractors or time served guy's working PAYE.

    They are always advertising for time served guy's to come on board.

    Check the website out see for yourself. Also, check out Corgi, SNIPEF and IPHE websites and see what they say about fast track plumbing courses. You may think again.

    Of course you'll get a barrage of fast track plumbers blowing about us timeserved lot, thing is though we never paid 5k or there abouts for a useless bit of paper. They'll be back in their old job's within 3years and a hell of a lot worse off.

    Sorry but this is fact.

    bored of being on the same jobs for one/two weeks at a time want to be in out in a few hours get paid onto the next job. haven't done a plumbing apprenticeship but have 10 years experience so thought why not.

    Good advice from tich also. I suggest you take it. I know a guy who went out with my sister many moons ago.

    Sh*te joiner but good window/conservatory and kitchen fitter, own company and making a hell of a lot more money than most.

    Also, you don't need to worry about any registrations as there all ancillary trades.

    Who's the idiots you wonder.

    Is there anyone on here that will admit to being a plumbing franchisee or maybe they are all busy trying to complete all that work they have got?

    You've had good advice mate, but if you don't want to believe it just do your own thing. It's your money.

    If you're that desparate come and work for me and I'll sell you a franchise.

    Do the math - you are paying them lots of cash for what...? Sure they have a known name, but the guy with the franchise in the next town might be **** and guess what - he's $crewing your business!

    Start your own business - then YOU decide how to run it, YOU decide where and how to market, YOU control your success or failure.

    Better still, give me £40k and 20% revenues a year (not profit, revenues) and you can have my business :)
     
  16. You could give me only £35k and just 10% for just two years but you would have to be CORGI registered!
