And Northern Ireland. ...

Too dangerous. According to the news someone nearly got blown to bits in your neck of the woods yesterday

 

[Dotty]

Someone nearly gets blown up every day. You get used to it.

 

[Ray Stafford]

Ray my old fruit, have you got something against Middle England and the North?

Just practicalities Leo. Operationally, its easier to keep the overall footprint reasonably tight.

The plan for world dominations on the back burner then.

Not sure that's something I could get used to checking over the vehicle everyday. Maybe I could send the wife out to start it up she's always saying shed like to give driving the van a go

Suppose it also makes the transition from independent to national. Must admit you do get used to having a good branch locally then when you work away you constantly wish there was a Williams near by.

 

[markfxy]

pick me, pick me!

 

[jase158]

That got your attention, didn't it?

And its a genuine offer too.

Your favourite sponsor is looking to open 18 to 20 branches in the next 3 years, mostly in the Northern home counties - so Essex, Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Bedfordshire. Any town in one of those counties with a minimum urban population of 60,000 and serving outlying areas containing another 40,000 will do, but we wont consider anything under 100,000 total population within 10min drive time. The tricky part is finding branch managers, and thats where this offer comes in.

I need people with:

• A good knowledge of plumbing and heating materials
• Experience as a merchant - not necessarily as a manager, perhaps a number 2 looking to run his own show?
• Great customer service skills
• Ability to work on own initiative
• A nice person

If any forum member introduces me to someone who we employ, at the end of the 3rd month that they work for us, I will treat that member to £500 worth of the power tools of their choice. Totally gratis. I'd sooner you guys had that, than I pay some chair-warmer at an agency.

All you need to do is sound out your contact, and then PM me a name, a few bullet points about the individual, and a phone number. It would help if you spoke to your recommendee first, to ensure that they would be happy to take my call. But bear in mind that they are likely to be running the Williams & Co in your town, so no rubbish please!

Cheers

Ray

How about aylesbury?
town population 56,000
urban population of 140,000
Man I have in mind is screwfix supervisor, but for £500 free tools, I can find someone!!

I think your being too picky, you can charge a bit more for less folk in the SW, starting to sound more like Tescos now Ray

 

[stevetheplumber]

£500 retail or wholesale? either way it sounds a lot less than a recruitment agency would charge you ray

 

[lame plumber]

I ran a Lidl's in Shirley (S'hampton )Ray, pop one in Barnstaple and I'll get it going for you, if I can survive the bum hole of that part of the world and run the 2nd most productive store in the country at the time, a well organised company like yours will be a doddle. Only quit when I got run off the M27 at the A3 north junction at Pompey one late night after work, made me realise retail pay isnt worth the risk
