Rogue Trades- What About Some Rogue Customers?
Heres another news item on Cowboy Rogue Builders - this time by The BBC.
I'm not disputing there are rogue tradespersons and companies out there, and I'm not disputing the gentleman in the BBC video but do you think The BBC or programmes like House of Horrors or Rogue Traders will ever produce a news feature or a tv episode on Rogue Customers.
Maybe if I show these tv companies our Bad Debtors list where we have carried out work and the person we have worked for disappears into thin air before settling their invoice, we could be first on a new tv show called - Hunt Down The Rogue Customers.
There are many excellent reputable tradespersons and companies out in the so called big bad world, just the same as there are many excellent trustworthy customers only too happy to pay for services carried out, its just a pity tv companies don't highlight the few rogue customers the same way they highlight the few rogue tradepersons, instead of tarnishing all companies involved in trade work with the same brush.

Poor Stirling Are Relegated
Its been nearly a week since the inevitable happened, Stirling Albion were relegated from The Scottish League Division One. To be truthful its been on the cards for a couple of months, but nonetheless it still hurts when it becomes a reality.
So our status as the Yo Yo team of Scottish Football is continually confirmed and its back to Division Two football, where in truth thats the level the club deserve to be, as our lack of ambition off the field doesn't merit a higher place in Scottish Football.
Theres only two matches to go this season, before a three month break and then the competitive matches begin again and if its anything like our last season in Division Two its sure to be an exciting season - I'm not certain though if we will enjoy that same success. Time will tell though.

Lightning Strikes
This Sunday was spent unexpectedly working at one of our main clients premises in the Trossachs. Late Friday afternoon various parts of their premises was struck by five strikes of lightning resulting in loss of power.
Just as work finished on Friday having received a telephone call from site, I managed to determine by phone that the loss of power was external to our clients site and the next 24 hours, saw the electrical power company install new transformers and cables throughout the Trossachs to restore power to various areas of the Trossachs.
Unfortunately power being restored on Saturday only brought to attention a multitude of other problems. There was no live telephone lines on isdn, analogue or broadband lines - the internal nortel telephone exchange system was fried, various parts of the security alarm system were affected and alarms were going off everywhere, cctv cameras were down and the internal computer server and network was all over the place - what a mess.
Thankfully during Sunday the alarm and cctv problems were on their way to being rectified and are now back up running. The computer system was 90% back to normal by end of day Sunday, but there was no way BT engineers were going to get out their bed on The Sabbath Day, meaning BT would not start investigating the dead lines until the start of the week.
The thing is, these thunderstorms must have been isolated to a very small area, as 25 miles away in Stirling and even only 10 miles away from our clients site, there was not a hint or any indication of what was happening over our clients site.

Hello Aprille
I can confirm that we have appointed a new Office Manager.
Aprille Mitchell will begin her employment with Stirling Electrical Services Ltd. next week.

We are all excited about the appointment and are looking forward to the work planned to progress the company in the coming months and years.
Clients telephoning us will have been used to the energetic voice of Maureen over the last few years but don't worry Mo will still be around, as she will be slotting back into her old role working in our Taxi business. Maureen has been a star over the past few years, juggling a number of roles within the two businesses and has played a big part in moving the electrical business forward.
I'll bring you more news on the progress of the development of our office structure in the coming months.
