My sincere apologies for the late response regarding your very informative post. I have recently been blessed with a new arrival ( little Girl ) who has pretty much worn me out just lately. i personaly have a thriving business manufacturing bespoke aluminium,brass and stainless steel profiles for flooring contracts throughout the UK and find myself fortunate not to have a great deal to worry about regarding the tile showroom i have opened in Notts. i have found it be very frustrating though with the closed shop antics of suppliers who i respect feel the need to look after there main interest locally. Not to be given a fair crack peeved me somewhat even though i can only keep chipping away at the market As mentioned i am in a fortunate position where the only way can be up. i think the points that you have made can only stand others contemplating a new venture the insight to make a true go of it. i wish all the brave people who have taken the chance every little bit of good fortune that they deserve. Thank you.
