what is going on with the eco and green deal for fitters

[ricmar35]

first there was a lot of big talk that the industry was kicking off 2014...but now it seems like everyone is scrapeing around for work

To be honest, I'm not sad they have stopped handing out free boilers to well off landlords and getting guys to fit said boilers for £200 as it was terrible for non green deal folk

Basically what happened is someone used to work in health and safety then decided telling people how to do a job wasn't enough in life for them, so they became an advisor to the government and came up with a brilliant way for people with no experience in the industry to take the cream of the profit on any heating work after all we are an uneducated bunch who shouldn't be earning that sort of dough.

any way in came a load of suits made a catchy name for this government led pyramid scheme then went about setting out who will actually receive all the cream.

By by know lots of money had been spent and it was time they started clawing it back. So they opened it up,to the un educated, but the only way in was to spend a lot of money on something called pas2030 (Pants down bum up and Scream that'll be £2030.00) by now the money was rolling in but the targets weren't being met so once they had recouped the money they spent everyone in a tie quietly shuffled off to come up with another pyramid scheme that won't work, and in the mean time ignore the calls for the return of the boiler scrap page scheme that actually did work and was open to everyone?

good post, rob.

its shameful how these green deal, eco things are run. You would think its a simple thing to do, but no, to many greedy middle men wanting all of the money.

i should add most of the eco boilers ive seen could have been fitted better by a blind toad.
