    Succession planning.

    Sounds all too familiar. We're having similar issues where false promises were made to ensure that a plentiful supply of free help was available over the years. Nothing has materialised, and my parents are near to retirement age now. Deathly silence when any mention of what the plan is going...

    Steel price

    Yes since July 2020 it’s 3x the price, went up a lot later that year and kept going. Quoting for work has been a challenge over the past 18 months to say the least.

    ATV Security

    I'm currently looking at introducing a device to the market to secure Farm Quads/ATV's and make it much harder for thieves to steal them. It's a simple device which you drive the quad bike into, and only takes seconds to lock up (4/5 Seconds) and about the same to unlock without the need for any...

    Why is there a big shortage of welders?

    It's in the arse end of nowhere so there isn't enough people around who are interested in that type of work, they have got too big for the area they are based in, not enough affordable housing (less than £180k) nearby so most commute from further away which as we know the way things are is at...

    Steel price

    Same as fuel prices shooting up after the so called ‘shortage’. We’re all back at it now as before like nothing happened and fuel prices have remained high. Had this conversation with my timber supplier when he said it’s hard to get timber but his yard has always been fully stocked...

    Steel price

    Yes very true, hyperinflation of commodity prices has created a negative balance in terms of demand but unfortunately this is going to cause some casualties. It’s like 2008 all over again.

    Steel price

    Quote conversion rates for steel framed buildings are at an all time low with us as a result of this, coupled with timber prices, fuel costs and labour all gone up massively it’s a real problem for many.

    The cost of doing safety on the cheap !

    Just having these same issues now! Quoting to do jobs properly and comply with regulations and best practices, and also from a moral standpoint be able to sleep at night knowing we have done everything by the book so everyone goes home at the end of the day to their families and were not etting...

    Pre formed concrete panels.

    I can tell you now without getting my calculator out that 8 inches is nowhere near thick enough to support the impoosed load of 40 Ton considering on the tension side its only supported at 2.5m intervals. Unless they are planning on bracing the original steelwork massively and will provide data...
