Who runs a business and how's trade?

[diegoalv]

I was running a travel agency before pandemic, of course it didn't survive all those restrictions.
Going to start everything from zero again. Hope for the best. Happy to say that there is a very good travel agency software on the market these days , which will make my job much easier.

Been a fucking mental summer. Seems the days of fearing foreign travel because of covid are long gone and the clamour to do staycations in the pissing down rain not quite being as popular as some would have you believe.
Long may it continue.. :-)

After a decent summer due to bad weather i'm now doing keys all day for the back to school crowd. Once winter kicks in i'll be busy for the next 6/7 months.
Also selling and fitting a lot of new locks due to high crime rate in my area at the mo.

I work for a corporate business but will be starting my own business management consultancy within the next 6 months. Appreciate advice from anybody who already works within or owns their own consultancy business….

You might want to think about changing your username.

It should be bluemoonlaterising.

I was in Tenerife for six weeks from mid June until the end of July and it was rammed. I was surprised given all the price rises, especially in mortgages, rents and fuel. I'm back in December which is normally hammered too, it will be interesting to see if it's changed.

Xmas and new year have always been the busiest time of the year in Tenerife. Since I moved away from there full time to concentrate on the mainland bars after 15 years living on the rock I tend to go over after the madness (and gypsies) have fucked off in mid January.

Last year was a nightmare with the gypsies I've never seen so many. No idea why it's become so popular with them. A few bars closing from the 20th-27th December this year because of them.

Passed on my small Courier business (business to business) to my mate who worked with me, still do his admin and accounts as he can’t be arsed. However turnover has dropped from an average of 7k a month to around half that, he’s lost three customers but none his fault so it’s just about paying him a wage but it’s a good job I wasn’t trying to pay us both out of that.

From your user name I guess you know of Pike Fold Golf, we go there every year for the golf and beer festival but it wasn’t on this year, one of my favourite days.

 

[Slipper One]

Ha, same here mate.
I finished a big job in April and then packed it in until next month or Oct.
I did the same thing last summer except by this time last year I was ready to go back.
Not this year. One more push (probably until May or June) and I'm chucking my hammer in the lake and throwing away all my grubby old t shirts.

Lazy f***ing immigrants!!!!

Good luck to you. We are just starting a new venture from scratch, just a little sideline a couple of nights a week to start with, hopefully we can grow it so know exactly where you are coming from. Initial response has been good so we'll just have to see what happens when we open the doors.

Crazy thing after looking round at what other people are charging for what we a doing (the nearest one is a 45 min drive each way) and comparing to what our friends in England our charging, we are still cheaper here and 3x the rate in England.
