Hello from Huddersfield.

Posted by Michael Winfield on May 3, 2011 at 4:24 pm

Good afternoon folks!

I’ve been using the forum for a while and just haven’t got round to posting a hello!

so…….HELLO!

I’ve been making signs for around 7 years for one of the largest independently owned builders merchants in the UK, they have about 80 wagons and 10 vans, with 17 sites (shop’s, concrete plants & quarry) which is plenty to keep me busy! =D

Well i say that, but last year my MD had a little word with about making signage for colleague of mine and told me to stop it (even though staff where paying for the materials and i wasn’t charging for my time). but who am i to argue?…. so a little hacked off about this what i did was buy my own cutter and start making graphics for friends and local business’s, so far my machine has paid for its self and I’m now saving to upgrade to my own printer/cutter combo! So thanks for telling me to stop making signs =D.

I’m hoping that I’ll be able to work my way up to been a self supporting business with my own premises, so please bare with me if i ask some stupid question!

And thanks for all the help I’ve had so far from you guys!

Mikey

Darn it! They totally kicked our @sses.
But one of the Bolts is a Yinzer so I can’t totally hate ’em.

And as long as they oust the Caps it’s all good.
But I also hate the Flyers.
