Maintenance Round up for grabs in Leeds!

Posted by Steven Whitaker on March 3, 2015 at 11:49am in Business

Hi All,

After 6 years in the business, I have decided to wind the business up and go and get a job that pays me a salary 12 months of the year.

So my round is up for grabs basically.  I don't want anything for it, but I need to know you are genuine, reliable, and ready to hit the ground running with a good sized maintenance round annual turnover IRO 25K but could be expanded quite easily.

I do not want to spam my customers with anything, so please apply to me directly giving your details, qualifications and experience etc.

I will give preference to gardeners who are starting out in the business rather than big companies looking to expand, but will consider anyone.

Thanks for reading and good luck!

Steven

    Hi Steven

    what part of Leeds is it and roughly how many hours per week is there and how many weeks per year

    • Steven Whitaker > David Benson March 4, 2015 at 5:44pm

      Hi David,  It's North East Leeds including one in Bramhope and three in Scarcroft.  I've never discussed hours, so its however long it takes you.  Most customers are fortnightly March-Oct and monthly Nov-Feb.  It turns over 25K atm but could be expanded.

    Hi Steven

    that's the right side of Leeds for me  but I would want more details which would be better discussed privately if you PM me we can take it from there

    Ok so I'm starting to wish I never put this up.

    I've had one member giving me a load of abuse and trying to advise me on how I should change my business rather than give up, and another who wants me to do all the chasing.

    Let's just get one thing clear, I am offering a whole pack of customers with money who are looking for a new gardener, for free, out of the goodness of my heart.

    I'd have been all over this like a rash when I started, a ready made business for nothing.

    So if you want it, prove to me why you want it, and why I should give it to you.

    Rant over.

      Personally speaking I think what you're offering is great, just wished we lived nearer to Leeds. As it is being the east side of Pickering, it's tad too far even for us.

      I can't believe your struggling to pass this on like you say it's a ready made business just waiting for someone.

    Hi Steven, Please accept my "friend" request so we can chat by private message in case we're not online at the same time. I'd be happy to come over and see you at the weekend or early next week. Tomorrow is a busy day just as the past couple of days have been, so only just seen this post.
