    New name/brand for growing business

    Thanks We've thought of that, but really need to focus on a premium brand/ posh sounding name where people spending loads of ££££s will be proud to tell their friends they had "XYZ" do the work as opposed to a Genie. As mentioned, the Genie works brilliantly for small jobs.

    Van signage
