    Opening A 'Modern' Barbers

    Also, keep a range of up to date magazines. I never buy or have time or the chance to stop and read magazines so 10mins reading mens heath or something else does go down nicely when waiting for barber.

    Opening A 'Modern' Barbers

    Just ensure you have plenty of seating, I don't mind waiting 15/20 mins if I have a seat but I never go in if there are only 3 seats and all are taken but I will get cut in 5mins if I stand in the corner. Used to use one that had a playstation set up with fifa. Was ideal when going in after...

    Large order and credit checks

    Stick to your guns off money up front. If they are a large firm as you say and your talking about £1k of product then that will be small fry to them and they won't even question it.

    Charging extras

    Sounds like he was fair in asking for extra money to do work which was originally not known about. It also aeems a good plan on his part not to tell you at the start as it seems very likely you would have told him where the door was. To say he is not getting additional work from you because he...

    Taking on an apprentice

    Thanks everyone. We are a steel fabrication company so we may look to take someone on in both the workshop and the office. Is it best to check the courses etc which are available first then find the candidate to suit? or find a good candidate and then match a course to them? Thanks Phil

    Taking on an apprentice

    Hi. We are about to hire a 20 year old lad for our workshop and plan to train him on various aspects of the job but we were wandering if we can take him as an apprentice? He is currently unemployed and has been in for a couple of trial periods and he 'seems' to have a good attitude and work...

    Satellite broadband

    Yes, out in the countryside with an internet connection of 0.5mb as posted above. Not much 'High Internet Usage' happens here, not for lack of trying. Satellite seems to be the only option unless 4G routers can pick up a signal from further away than 4g mobiles?

    Satellite broadband

    I wasn't thinking about the speed of the satellite for Voip. I was thinking out loud, that we could keep our BT broadband which is 0.5mb and just use it for voip and as a backup and then get satellite for internet use.
