Apologies, one of my (Mark) long posts.
Tomorrow Sammie joins the team, that will be 5 staff plus a bookkeeper. I was made redundant by Drive Devilbiss in 2017, it was awful and the way I and my 13 staff were treated was appalling. I found another job to go to at Clearwell Mobility, that lasted 4 months and I decided to start my own business. Here we are 8 years and 3 shops later. It wasn’t easy to start but I stuck with it and it’s grown well, Brandon my engineer has been a huge part of the business for many years and I couldn’t have achieved what I have without him. And credit to Lynne who’s been here just over 2 years, I value her input so much and Nikki who started with us this year and is learning more each day. All my staff are are valued and an important part of the business. It takes a long time to learn this industry properly, I’m still learning! The picture is of some soft furnishings for the new shop, I’ll hand the more creative stuff over to the girls now 😂. I do get great advice from my partner Jo, she reigns my crazy ideas in. I I love nature and bees are so important to us.
Enough rambling, new shop will be open 1st November latest; maybe before. I’m getting the outside painted so not sure if I should open before that or not. Oh and the livery/sign is still being done.
