Then you shouldn't be running a multi million pound company. Your strategic planning is rubbish. I'm a one man band, and I knew it couldn't last! I made sure I had back up plans and something to fall back on. Thats why I'm a one man band, so I could survive the fall when it came.

If he's apparentely made all his staff redundant then why did i see the company surveyor driving the ploughcroft van this afternoon.

I gaurantee he's lying about pretty much everything

Hopefully Mr Hopkins wont meet, "Any Bipolar customers, who asked for lots of roofing / solar work to be done, that suddenly get into unforeseen financial and mental difficulties - unable to pay their bills, believing they were a descendant of little Lord Fauntleroy, in another life.

I can't believe this country has loopholes like that no wonder smaller company's suffer from people like him

its a shame we had a growing industry , creating jobs for 1000's of people from distrubtors to scaffolders to installers , what a shame

its not just solar installers this as effected , I spoke to different trades who are feeling it too
