The thing is mate, we were all a bit complacent back in the golden days of 2006/7. We should of seen what was coming with these toy town courses and domestic installer courses. However, no-one was interested in sounding the alarm, or even that it needed raising. Even the Unions were pre-occupied with the Iraq war and trying to oust Blair. So in a way, we have only ourselves to blame.

The company I work for has half a dozen sparks on, we all do domestic, from extensions and re-wires through to site work for persimmons (currently have 5 on the go) and we are all on under 11 quid/hr, use own vehicle, own tools and drills, have 17th Ed, 2377, and waiting on results for 2391, based about 15miles North of Newcastle Upon Tyne, is this the going rate, because it seems LOW!!

Any response welcome.

From what I'm reading here it's the agencies making the money, not the tradesmen. Traditionally tradesmen have not been business men or entrepreneurs; just working your trade was always enough to make a decent living. I think that's changed, you now need to be a business man as well as a qualified electrician.
