[Amarillo Tiling]

that's some distance Pete, is that all you or are you employed by a company?

[epoxy pete]

its my own business,mainly tiling for the shopfitting industry,airports are a pain in the arse to work at,security mad and youve got to have security passes and clearance for them all if working airside,been doing it for years now,took quite a while to get used to the systems and the paperwork!,jobs are all worked on a programme schedule,fairly tight progress wise, i work for some pretty good firms who are organised very well,otherwise it would all fall apart logistic wise very easily!!!! its mainly food and retail outlets at these sites.

[epoxy pete]

First week of June, waiting for 9 quotes to come in too.

And thats with 2 tilers on the go.

Mid June at least - some quotes pending / waiting dates etc

By the way I aren't that bothered about being booked too far in advance - something always comes up. Sometimes having too many jobs booked in can cause it's own problems also - just takes one or two to fall behind, then it's a nightmare juggling.
Gave up giving customers exact start dates ages ago. Normally say it will be around week commencing xxxx and tell them I will confirm nearer the time
