    I Started my working career before i left school as a sign fitters mate
    I Carried on with that, and ended up as a self employed fitter working for numerous companies all around the country
    In around 1982 i went to work with my father in the Neon Tube manufacturing business he had started in 1978
    After many years of successfully trading and earning ourselves a reputation as being one of the U.K.’s top glass shop’s, Twinklies emerged, (L.E.D’s)…
    In 2005, as our trade work had dwindled so much, i bought another van and set out again as a Sub-contract sign fitter
    So i now work as much as needed in our factory, and top up with fitting work
    Sometimes means working 100hr weeks though 🙁 🙁
    But hey ho, , , Too Much is Better Than None At All
    Hope you don’t get bored reading that lot 🙂 🙂

    Nope, that wasn’t boring, welcome aboard Colin.
    I find the whole Neon thing fascinating, retro and old school.
    Neon always makes me think America, don’t know why,
    maybe the Happy Days TV shows from my youth.

    Not sure if we’re allowed to put company names, but we’re on the A508 just
    outside Stoke Bruerne.
