Whilst I sit at my chair having my morning cuppa I am pondering on todays' service calls, I am wondering how many more years are left in the repair industry as we now know it. I would invite any other service engineers to make their own comments on what they intend to do about the "throw away" mentality of manufacturers. What has happened to the high street "dealer" who has total support from the major's. Are we just left to scrape up the remains of other engineers who have decided to hang up their soldering irons and get a "proper job"?
I myself have seen this senario coming for about 4 years now and have decided to diversify into other areas to take over after the decline is almost complete.......
I have set up a new business to go alongside my website design that I have been doing for many years. You can find it at www.wickerwoodhosting.co.uk . The site is not fully functional at the moment due to the lack of backend PHP and server functions which take care of the ordering and payments etc. I am in the process of implementing it at this time. If anybody requires a custom quote for hosting or wish to purchase a domain name, please don't hesitate to contact me. Time for a cuppa!!
