Right then folks the time has come to stop being an employee and become the employer
I'm looking at starting my own recovery firm here in South Wales.
Trucks are on order and funds are soon to be in place so that within the next month or so I will be a sole trader and recovery agent

Special rates for VPC members is it? not that you'll be collecting many Volvos (well, maybe James from time to time ;) )

Good luck Geoff, tbh I don't think you'll have a problem posting a build thread about the trucks.....it's the colour that will get you in trouble lol
Post 703816 by AAnickmac on 2014-04-16 07:29:39
good luck, if you contact the AA they might be able to put you on their listings for garage recovery agents. might help out a bit. worth a try.
Post 703831 by c70geoff on 2014-04-16 09:48:52
AA are already asking me to cover work but have 7 others that I'm going to contract for so AA will be when other locals are struggling
Post 703833 by stribo on 2014-04-16 10:02:10
Good news Geoff, can't wait to see the truck sprayed up.

You'll never look back!
