Glad to see your apprentice is allready in the van and waiting to go!

Barking college - C&G 2330 Level 2. Finish in July 2008.

London Luke

I stopped using my van in london many years ago. It was just asking to get robbed. I have used estates and now a landcruiser and i have yet to have them broken into. Also a lot smaller and clients prefer them if on drive etc. if its a real big job i get the van out and drop the stuff off.
A mate i know "sparks" for small shops etc (does very well ££) and uses a Push bike !!
his costs are almost nothing and he is quick from A-B. does about 3 jobs a day min and has more £ at the end of the year due to saving on the van costs etc

yea people have said "you treat your apprentice like a dog" thats because he is one

and even though he craps on the ground where he likes. he still isnt the messiest trainee i have had

love the idea of a spark on a bike luke

He gets a lot of work ! people love him and his simple attitude. he is there quickly and no worries about parking etc. he tends to do a lot of Lighting etc and most people have ladders etc. he has a select tool kit in a back pack and a medium stanley box on the back with a few tools and stuff. try getting a sparkie to change some bulbs in a kitchen at 6 pm friday night Sloan Square etc ! the call out charge and parking will be about £100.

he has 4 x locations where he stores cables and bulbs etc and works well. to be honest he is almost stress free ! And he has 2 x spare bikes just in case the scum rob his bike !

He should run this country !
