stevew Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 Just had a guy apply for a fencing vacancy we have advertised. labour only cards in. He said he could install all types of fencing ( industrial commercial domestic agricultural ) and could drive all types of machinery 360. Tracked or rear mounted tractor, he said he is currently working north of the boarder . Asked him what rate of pay he was looking for he said he would not work for less than £1000.00 per week as that is what he was on now..!!! Think I might move to Scotland !

Goaty Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 Hmm, bet he is the first to go when things get slack. £52,000 a year for an employed machine operator, if true there has to be some compromises. Or someone is making silly money easily to pay him. Hope he is saving it. Unlikely he will be getting that in 5 years time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frontrowfencing Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 You may have yourself an new employee soon Steve. As I say I can bring some work with me. However at that rate you may loose a bit of money on some of the jobs, but do t let that put you off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a self employed lad (very experienced one at that) looking for £160 a day drop in this week bit too much for me but someone must be paying it ?

stevew Posted September 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 The job is cards in, and everything provided. When he told me what he wanted, I nearly asked him if that was for him and a mate. Charliehub 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ST61 Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 Have you put in your tender for fencing Bypass Premnay Loon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
premnayloon Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 No no was advised to stay clear those contracts usually involve harsh penalties for not meeting deadlines. Also look to pick holes in work, I also see there was a contractor whose name escapes me but has a three letter initial as the name around the kingswell area a while ago.
