I supply work to firms where their engineers are equipped with smart phones and Seaward Primetest 300's.
If you're averaging 300 tests a day, every day, then you're looking at an average of 6000 tests a month
Nope, I have plenty of customers. I really don't need to pick them up from random forums and that's why I split my post so that if it was considered a breach of forums rules the second one could be deleted and the main thrust of my argument would remain.
The point I was trying to make was that just because people can't see how to make a profit themselves does not mean that it is impossible. Rather than simply disagree with the post I attempted to demonstrate why I felt it was inaccurate and the offer to prove it was, I felt, really the only way to ultimately prove the matter.
Instead of a good discussion I immediately got grief. No matter. I'll leave you chaps to continue grumbling about how little work you have.
thats exactly what it is Adam.....just a guy touting for gullable people who will end up doing all the work....while this character just sits there behind his computer screen watchin the cash come in....unfortunately he will probably be successful in his aims....Sorry if I'm not sugar-coating it enough but this just sounds like outsourcing PAT work, ultimately to a semi-skilled person on minimum wage who wouldn't be able to do the 'while you're here' jobs or even test fixed equipment, which is one of the reasons electricians get PAT work in the first place; you'd still have to send an electrician to do the piddly little electrical jobs and test the fixed equipment and 'difficult stuff' who would have a lower average 'test per hour' count and involve a separate journey. In other words this would simply be 'fudging the figures'.
Montaigne it seems you weren't adequately prepared to deal with the onslaught from angry electricians
I doubt it. Electrical contractors have been subbying out work they don't want to do for years. You don't need a salesman to tell you to do that, you can do it with a phone and a yellow pages, or a computer.he will probably be successful in his aims....
