Hi Darren and Tracey, you may not remember me but I did your 5 day intensive fast track tiling course around ten years ago, and on the course that week were a load of Nissan workers who were expecting imminent redundancy, I was so keen to learn the tricks of the trade and running my own tiling business I felt like the swat of the class, really taking everything you said on board. Well just to let you know I did take everything on board and, well I believe truly, made it as a 'tiler'. I am constantly booked for around 6 weeks in advance and am earning as you predicted 10 years ago earning around £35,000 - £45,000 a year. Its taken some building but I've got there, and never ever worry about where my next jobs coming from. A good list of trade contacts, great recommendations from existing customers and a nice website for the inevitable 'googlers' and the work never seems to end..even tiled a 300sqm mosque changing rooms in Keighley last year :) Even after ten years I still love every job i do, theres always something slightly different to keep you interested, but it makes it exciting and you never get board with it. The investment i made with you guys was a big decision for me at the time but one that i am glad i did and am forever grateful of what you taught me all those years ago Kind Regards, Andy (Tile in Style)
