Yep no doubt you would outclass any of my guys. Just out of interest how do we simpletons become as good as you? What training/experience have you attained to get to the top.

No Blob, not getting my books out. Waiting for you to answer the question?

I wouldn't worry too much about the spelling. The main thing is learning how to punctuate and how to write a logical sentence. Are you really providing written reports to your customers? If so I can see why they are only £35.00.

Blob you are making wild accusations again, you do not know what we are paying our engineers. Unfortunately it is normally a pre requisite that our engineers can string a logical sentence along prior to applying. Sorry but you have failed. :lol: Oh and a final point, we use quality...

Blob Read your post back to yourself VERY SLOWLY. Do you want a printer or an analyser. (Make a note of the spelling. :lol:

Ali the point is that although spending this money to advertise there is not a shortage of applicants, but a shortage of decent, qualified engineers that CAN ACTUALLY DO THE JOB. Nigel, yes we have Sussex pretty well managed, but we are of course open to any offers :lol:

Blob you do a FULL check of the boiler and system for £35.00. How long does this take you? Do you fully check the boiler? Do you measure temperature differential across the boiler? Do you take a water samples and get it checked by Fernox? Do you by chance check the WHOLE system for signs og...

Agree totally!! Our way of thinking was "If someone is willing to pay £5000.00 to get some basic training/experience then he will not be time waster and will get involved to get his moneys worth" All in all a fair result for both parties, we were not out of pocket and the trainee...

Hi Tony, That auction WAS ACTUALLY US!!! We decided to give it a go, we started the bidding at 5k and got 1 bid from a guy. He actually turned out to be useless, but he was grateful for the training and is now working self employed fixing boilers.

The Sun and The Mirror both offer targeted areas. i.e. the paper may well be national but an ad can placed to cover just the South East publications.

Agile, Yes we do have our own training facilities. We have a section which we lend to Atag Heating which houses 2 live boilers and several dead boilers to train on. We also have a wide range of Ideal products (from current going back to the Minimiser) To be honest we do not advertise...

Thanks Chris, I have a couple of interesting leads from this posting. I think the Newspaper route will go on hold. I will contact the gas news and pham tomorrow. Also thanks to John for the Argi lead. Thanks for the replies and a special thanks to Blob. Your views are so refreshing.

Agile thanks for your reply. What manufacturer pays that amount per call? I think your charges are a little out there. The original question was asking what medium would be most beneficial to target the people we are looking. Yes we are aware of Pham and that most employees do not...

Blob you are entitled to your opinion and I wholeheartedly wish you a successful careeer in the gas industry. (Although I suspect you have been upset in the past). Why are you so bitter and twisted? For the record I agree with you regarding the companies you have mentioned. Please do not tar...

Well I must say there are some very bitter people about. For the record Bob and anyone else we are Corgi registered. We do NOT do landlord cert's and our engineers most certainly DO NOT get 20 jobs a day. In fact our average is just 6. Our engineers are paid a salary not per job. We...

Thanks for your constructive comments Blob Dole. Actually it is nothing as you describe. I won't bore you with the facts as I am sure you are well out of our league. We just could not afford an engineer of your obvious superior calibre. Again thankyou Blob and I have taken your points...

Oh dear, I see we are not going to get any sensible replies. I am not asking if anyone wants a job! It is not the fact that people do not apply- in fact quite the opposite!!! The problem is targetting experienced gas service engineers with a proven track record. I suspect they...

I would disagree with you!! Most of the guys on here are self employed/already employed with good companies. Advertising is VERY expensive, we have already spent/wasted alot of money and time. Before we spend/waste again it seems quite prudent to ask if anyone has done this before and what...

Hi chaps and chappesses. We are having a few problems with advertising companies. We are looking to increase our service engineer numbers by another 5. In a nutshell we are a service agent for a major uk boiler manufacturer, we have secured a large contract and we need to recruit some...

More than likely the flow switch has stuck or the dhw thermister is defective. Neither job expensive or too difficult to rectify. No diverter valves or such to be concerned about.
