Hi Lamby and welcome to the boards, as Robert says tell us a little about yourself and what you do. You will soon find out we are a nosey bunch on here.

[Steve Lamb]

Thanks for welcoming me to the board. I thought I might explain a couple of things, my name is Steve Lamb, hence you may see me sign a post Lamby, not to be confused with Robert Lambie of course.
I have been a Lamby (nickname) for years so I hope I can continue here as well. Or should I sign off Steve? hmmm
My company is Rising Signs and I have been operating for 4.5 years, altough I have been in the trade for 10 years and before that 7 years in screenprinting with the odd sign thrown in now and then.
I suppose like most sign companies we produce a wide range of signs but we prefer to producing graphics for vehicles. We are only a small company with 2 employees and me, but I like it like that.
We can also offer all litho related printing if anyone is interested as we have a sister company in- house producing all kinds of print.
More later!

Sorry fellas, I did not acknowledge you lot then. John I would be interested to know which job we both priced on. I don’t do alot up in Northants area, a couple here and there, give me a shout thanks for the welcome.
Hey Graham I have some friends some from Taz, can,t quite remember where from now, I’ll find out. Their surname was Jensen, I know Taz is quite small, a village island, ha, ha.

Robert thanks for the welcome and there is another extension to that nickname of mine, a bit sickly will let you all know later.
Haven’t quite grasped the smilies yet.

Steve,

It wasn’t in this area. It was a lift company in Watford.

Did you ever get to do any?

Regards – John

Ahh yes I remember the customer, i never really got a foot in the door properly there, even though I know some of the fella’s that work there, decision makers too.
Correct me if I’m wrong but all the work went through a fleet- leasing company.

Are you still producing graphics for them?

Steve,

Yes, we’ve been doing them for over ten years now, but I have no reason to suppose that we get them all, which is why I asked the question.

The vans tend to come a lot very quickly followed by a long quiet period. It could just be their buying schedule, but that sort of pattern often indicates that the work is being shared.

Hi Steve
Good to see you finally made the jump to hiper speed

We asked the question a few times but were told that we had to speak to the leasing co. When I did, you’ll be pleased to know that they gave us the cold shoulder. We did do a few repairs now and then but not for at least a year.
We do venture up there now and then, we currently have a project on for the T.A.

Cheers
