Newbie from Lancashire saying hello

[Simon@21c]

Hi All

I have recently taken on a franchise of w.w.w 21ctelecom co uk basing it in my home town of Morecambe,Lancashire.

I have been in the industry for around 5 years but the industry is getting harder and harder so I decided to work with a well established company is one of the top dealers in the UK with many products on offer other than Mobiles.

I can offer consumer and business mobile contracts,
Landlines (lines & calls) reviews
Blackberry's
Mobile email
&
Tracking

We offer a full account management system so once the deal is actioned should you have any questions throughout the contract you have the luxury of speaking to the same person every time.

I am actively trying to help my business get off the ground running so should you have any contracts due please please give me a call on
0844 880 4104 or email me at simon21c at live.co.uk (or pm on here)
We shall then put together a full proposal for you and hopefully get everything arranged for you on your behalf.

Once again many thanks for your time

Really, I will tell the owner your comments, I'm just in the process of redesigning her signage (it has taken over a year and a half for the planning permission to come through..)

[Simon@21c]

Hey Simon

welcome to the forums, sure you will enjoy your time here - there's a growing no of NW based folk on here.

Actually, we just had first meet up in Manchester couple of weeks back, looking to have another soon, ideal chance to meet up 'in person'.

Can't sadly offer you any business though, happy with O2 and counting days till I get my new 3G iphones! Just got a bit of trepidation about whether or not to give up my Blackberrys though...

Good luck for your business venture though, sure you will have every success!

You don't get on Christie Park do you? Venue of the best pies on a footy ground, ever - fact.

[Simon@21c]

Yeah I do indeed, have to agree they go down a treat....

Not sure about this Iphone, Ill say now (hopefully be corrected) but I bet you have problems with the phone within4-5 months. Hell of alot of software going into something small....we will wait and see though...

What do you do ?? and thanks for the nice welcome

In a past life, I worked in project management in wireless comms - NTL, Orange, Vodafone, Dolphin, TMobile, 3 etc. I'd be amazed if the iphone 3G can perform anything like my BB for the next couple of years, but it looks good, and everyone will want them, so I'm as shallow and superficial as anyone I guess :p

Then I decided I'd had enough of working hard for other people, and followed the SE lifestyle, set up a corporate travel firm in summer 2006 - initially just as one income stream for PT, but grown & surpassed expectations, which I'm obviously delighted about! Our scope has changed now into more of a bespoke luxury transport company operating on a few levels - weddings, prestige, chauffering, airports etc. to a lesser degree - whereas we tend to concentrate more on a tailored solution to the corporate sector. My main philosophy is concentrate on lesser customers, each with a an individual solution, as opposed to 1000s of customers taking a fixed, one size fits all service. Commercially, I aim for the customers/clients I want, and the work others can't do, as I find that gives us a better niche. On the whole, it works, so I'm chuffed!

Go to Morecambe for reserve footy games, think it's prudent at this point to indicate I'm not a shrimpers fan - though I am (too much maybe) of the pies!

Hi Simon

Goodluck with your new venture!!!

Hi Simon,

I work in the East lancs area, but I was originally from Bolton-le-Sands, went to Morecambe grammer and spent most of my teen years in Morecambe. Not been back now for 20 years. has there been much change?

Spent a lot of my mis spent youth at the Broadway, Kings Arms and the Battery. I suppose they are still there?
Good luck with your business

[Simon@21c]

Hi Debtbuster.... things are changing big time..millions been invested. Give it 5 years and this will be one of the places in the UK to visit ..

[Exec-U-Travel]

How is that redevelopment going of that Art Deco hotel on the front going? Was it called the Midland? Urban Splash were down to do it last I heard? Things like that help incredibly when it comes to regeneration.

[Simon@21c]

Yeah its open now, few teething problems as expected as was rushed through to open but all seems to be going very well.

Urban Splash have just comitted a further £80 million into Morecambe to renovate the whole prom so I would say in 3-4 years this is going to be one hell of a place...

Get yourself booked in for a night.. ;-)

[Exec-U-Travel]

So is it still a hotel? For some reason, I thought they were converting into apartments.

You're not a retainer for the Morecambe tourist board are you?

Hey, noticed Potts Pies (as served at Christie Park) have been selected for some award or other....

[Simon@21c]

Hotel pal, top floor is on the roofs over looking the bay and has an outside jacuzzi ...very pimp lol

And no not at all just enjoying the fact I can soon be very proud of where I live...

U cant beat a potts pie ;-)
