    Posted by John Harding on March 17, 2016 at 6:13 pm

    Hey guys and girls – just to let you know I’m retiring at the end of the month

    I say retiring, I’m selling the business to my friend Ian who will run it ably supported by his young son ( I will get them to introduce themselves later). Ian comes from the road marking industry so the company will be marketed dually as lines and signs which I think will compliment each other and have huge opportunity for overlapping marketing.

    So initially I will be helping them get up to speed so will still be very hands on for a while, but it should still allow me plenty of time to get on here and chat with you lot which I haven’t been able to do recently.

    Also if you any of you guys need a hand I will be very happy to turn up and help with your projects holding a fascia or applying vinyl etc etc anything to get me away from the missus for a few hours in return for a few beer vouchers London and the South East and further afield possibly!

    So really it could more Hello than goodbye

    Much Love John 😀
