Mr Electric

[CP Electrics]

Does anyone know anything about the Mr Electric franchise.

I thought about it a few years ago but maybe now is this time.

Has anyone done it and how are you getting on????

Many Thanks
Chris

5. Cowboy Hat: Clive’s regular travels to Texas, USA (Dwyer Group HQ) has lead him to fully embrace Texan fashion – hence the cowboy hat. “When I go to Texas, I’m a Texan,” laughed Clive. He owns matching cowboy boots too.

Looks like i found this site in time..i was thinking about it as well..but had heard ""BAD THINGS""....Has anyone here thought about getting together,putting equal amounts of Capital in,and getting something going,im screaming to be self employed again,but not on the tools,would rather test and do follow ups for jobs done,Anyone interested???????????

 

[DurhamSparky]

yes mate i would love to go self employed full time... i looked at a REACT ELEC franshise but again i was put off by the money it cost and other stuff tied int to it..!

Hello Mate...I looked at them as well,the whole franchise thing looks like a complete rip off,as has been said,if you can raise the cash,set your own up, seems to be the best route,just easier as a team,i think--you got much work going on?

 

[DurhamSparky]

well this week im fully booked !

next week is quiet as people tend to want an electrician there and then my way!!

 

[blackiel]

Just wondered..im in two minds about staying where i am,on the underground,permanent nights,doing my head in,you got no life,but if its quiet out there,i suppose id be a fool to move..You work for yourself???

 

[DurhamSparky]

work 2 days 2 nights 4 off...!! in 4 off i do my sparky business..!!

what part of teh underground do you work..! ?? i hated using the bloody trains would hate it even more doing engineering works at night!

 

[blackiel]

Signalling...not the most interesting,until youre fault finding,then you get a bit more enthusiastic,if you can stay awake.

 

[DurhamSparky]

lol... so your the guy who i beat to a pulp then when i find you...

once got stuck between north Greenwich and canary wharf due to signal failure...!!! 3 bloody hours..!! the tube was moving at 5mph and jumping signals then getting stopped by the protection system and every body kept going flying lol....! i though it was funny as me my boss and 3 others i worked with were all in same carriage!! (just by chance as well)

 

[blackiel]

Ha ha ha...youll have to find me first mate...and youll never get me on a train...too many signalling problems and nutters on trains...much safer to walk..except at night,when im about!!
