    Excellent advice gents, thank you so much. It just so happens that I ordered 250 business cards last night haha typical. Grrclark, I’ll work on the elevator pitch and get back to you!

    I’ve stolen that, thank you! I intend to buy some more as and when funds allow, currently I’m on 30 day net payment terms with most and I’m waiting on invoice payments. thanks everyone, my lack of experience in actually marketing a business it’s what’s difficult. Like has been suggested, getting someone like a student etc on board for half a day a week may be the way forward until I get on top of cash flow!

    Thanks for the input. My domain name is www.byrkley.com. I built the website using squarespace because I am currently very time poor (could be worse things to complain about than being busy!) and it’s especially easy to do on there I have already incorporated and chosen the name so changing the spelling is not an option. I appreciate what you’re saying and I thought the same thing when I came up with it. When spoke to my accountant he offered me some business advice and said not to worry about the business name, the ‘tag line’ and branding is more important.

    My main area of business is the repair of waste and recycling equipment which involves all of the above.

    Appreciate the replies. I have started to set up a website, bought a .com domain and set up a Facebook page, never used LinkedIn but have set up a page yesterday. Time is my biggest constraint currently. My business is generally B2B so I didn’t know if it would be worth advertising in local rags and mags. I have ZERO experience when it comes to marketing and it’s a huge flaw! edit: I’m not sure if I’m allowed to post links to my site etc on here, not been in the Forums for a while - Byrkley ltd will generate results on Facebook
  7. I recently incorporated my first business after a period of self employment. does anyone have any tips on pushing to get more work, is it a case of approaching companies and straight up asking them? Current customers have all come off the back of referrals from friends and contacts. Most are generally long term repeat customers but only have little amounts of work and I’m pretty keen on taking someone on to earn a bit more! I deal with Waste and Recycling equipment, mechanical, hydraulic and electrical engineering and welding and fabrication. SSS
  8. I didn't realise how much hedgehog poo smells until Teal finds some and has a roll in it! It seems socks are a hot find for a lot of dogs.
  9. I've been thinking about making a Christmas wreath from all of the Holly leaves she brings. My old bitch used to like teddy bears of any shape or form. As long as she had her teddy then she was happy. She used to like them smelly, the dirtier and smellier the better, she was never chuffed after they'd been washed.
  10. Are these suitable for strapping to an air rifle for a bit of ratting?
  11. I had forgotten but you've reminded me, I had a LED lenser but I can't recall packing it when I moved house. It had the adjustable beam but started to fail on the connections in the rear of the battery compartment. Having said that, I'd probably buy another.
  12. Unbearably busy at work, moved house, got married and been on my honeymoon. Not been on here for quite some time really.
